Innocent Games I-II-III – Dora Stork

Dora Stork is a Hungarian contemporary artist whose work reinterprets the ancient technique of encaustic painting in a distinctly modern way.nWith a degree in economics and cybernetics, she brings analytical structure into the intuitive process of artmaking, merging precision and spontaneity.nHer creative method is rooted in experimentation — she produces her own wax medium from natural beeswax and carnauba, achieving a unique surface quality that reflects and absorbs light at once.nThrough multiple layers of molten wax, pigment, and shellac, Stork explores the dialogue between stability and transformation, permanence and transience.nThe interplay of opacity and transparency in her paintings evokes both geological and emotional processes — erosion, burning, blooming, and renewal.nShe works primarily on wood panels, where the material’s density contrasts the fluidity of wax, creating tactile depth and atmospheric resonance.nHer paintings are included in private collections in Europe and the United States, and have been featured in numerous curated exhibitions.nFor Stork, every artwork is a living structure: a record of temperature, gesture, and light — where intuition meets discipline, and natural elements become instruments of expression.
