"Fine-Arts" prints on paper
It is a process of printing on art paper using very high-quality pigment inks and printed in very high definition. Its level of conservation is exceptional (more than 100 years), its quality, depth, and richness of nuances exceeds the classic photo print on Argentic paper.
Glossy finish
Apart from its exceptional thickness, the fiber paper is composed of an alpha-cellulose base without acid and it is covered with barium sulphate, and a microporous layer absorption enhancing pigments during printing. A pure white color, non-yellowing to light, this paper is especially designed for resistance and aging. It is used by major museums worldwide as it offers excellent resolution, rendering deep and dense colors.

Actually, if somebody is curious what kind of game shall it be: I painted it after the elections of 2018 in Hungary, where the populist-nationalist party got a constitutional majority within the House. Strange processes are taking place in a world where Democrats are being overthrown in turn. I hope this series breaks in 2020.
In recent years, I have used OSB as a basis. By retracting the paint layers, I use the texture of the veneer as part of my compositions to create a unique rustic industrial atmosphere.
The painting is made with self-made paint, which basically consists of pigments and beeswax. Does not contain oil or other paints.
The procedure itself dates back to antiquity and has been known for thousands of years. Only few artists around the world work with wax on its own.
Pictures made with encaustic are characterized by bright color and silky light. Thanks to the well-preserving properties of the wax, the colors do not fade over time and retain their liveliness.
Encaustics paintings, like paintings taken with oil, must be protected from water and physical influences. Do not place under glass when framing!
Over time, they become dusty or slightly oxidized by the wax. In this case, it is advisable to wipe with a slightly crumpled kitchen paper towel and the painting regain their original brilliant color and shine.

Dora Stork is a contemporary Hungarian artist. She gained international recognition as a selected artist in the London Art Biennale in 2023. An award-winning painter, Dora's art has been featured in solo and group exhibitions in prestigious venues across the UK, Hungary, and Romania. Her distinctive creations have found a home in private collections spanning the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Japan.
Identifying as an abstract realist encaustic painter, Dora Stork employs a unique artistic approach that involves using color in an abstract manner, portraying form in a realist fashion, and infusing her work with symbolic significance. Her paintings serve as a reflection of her keen interest in public life, as well as social and economic processes, offering viewers a thought-provoking perspective on these complex issues. Dora strives to construct dreamlike compositions that challenge perceptions, using incongruous details and peculiar circumstances to evoke a sense of familiarity.
Dora's chosen medium is hot wax painting, an ancient technique that imparts durability, vividness, and scratch resistance to her creations. Notably, she exclusively employs self-made wax media, without the addition of oil or other paints. The artist applies layers of hot wax paint with precision, controlling the flow to prevent unwanted color mixing.
In her recent works, Dora has embraced OSB (Oriented Strand Board) as a base for her encaustic pieces, appreciating its industrial texture and environmental sustainability derived from recycled wood. The unique patterns of the wood veneer contribute to a rustic industrial atmosphere that becomes an integral part of the composition, achieved by skillfully scraping back layers of paint. Each piece becomes a one-of-a-kind creation due to the distinctive pattern of the wood.
Dora Stork is an active member of various prestigious art organizations, including the Fine Arts Capital Art Society since 2023, the Society of Scottish Artists since 2021, the National Society of Fine and Applied Arts since 2010, and the Újpest Artist Society since 2009.
