Such way they get the UVL and scratch protection. <BR>The longevity of the paintings is ensured.<BR><BR> I have found my own way and technique in the encaustic. <BR> My technique is characterized by the emphasized tactile properties of the surface and by the multitude of finest details, which result in an exciting interplay of light, shapes, textures and colours. For this technique I elaborated the formulation for my beeswax paints and created my own tools. <BR><BR> In the <FONT face=Arial color=blue size=2><STRONG>egg painting <FONT face=Arial color=maroon size=2><STRONG>I paint in 3 styles   Sorbian style ,  Ukrainian pysanky style and  Freestyle . <BR> All designs, ornaments, motives amd compositions are my own ideas and creations. <BR> Here I am a bit proud of my own way in the egg painting too in the technique and in the motives.<BR><BR> In the egg painting I work in various beeswax techniques too. And here I go my own way too.<BR> I do not simply repeat or depict the traditional ornaments, but I create my own compositions. They have though the traditional geometrical elements, but in new combinations and new bonds, links and shapes together with floral parts. This way I express my love of geometrical rhythms and "floral music".<br><br> In my egg painting I intergrate valuable materials into the compositions - genuine gold (24 karat), genuine silver (1000/1000), precious and semi precious gems and Swarovski crystals.<BR> Such way I want to underline the character of my egg painting. <BR><BR> All eggs I seal mulitply and they get the UVL and scratch protection (archival sealer).<BR> They get such kind of longevity, which the art friends and collectors expect. <BR><BR> Finally the eggs precious beads (amethyst, aventurin, coral, onyx...) or get silver crowns and can be hanged on a silk thread.<BR><BR> I appreciate and value every day of my life, which gives me the opportunity to paint by my own mood, imagination and by my own feeling and I sense it as freedom and festival.<BR><BR> Vera Sattler<BR> Cottbus, Germany<BR> _____________________________________________________________________________________ <p align="left"><FONT face=Arial color=red size=2><strong> Copyright:<BR><FONT face=Arial color=maroon size=2><strong> All images, photos, paintings and texts in my homepage are conceived and created by myself and are therefore my material and my mental property.
