About the artwork

Pure encaustic, hot wax, and pigments on OSB I present one of the iconic events of the upcoming American elections through the symbolism of chess in this painting. The "Black Horse" is a symbolic representation of unpredictability and uncertainty. In this work the world of chess meets political intrigue. Much like a knight on the chessboard, the black horse embodies the surprising and unconventional moves that can change the course of the game. This artwork invites the viewer to contemplate the delicate balance between strategy, power, and chaos, echoing the complex landscape of modern politics. In recent years, I have been using OSB as the basis for my encaustic works for two reasons. One is that these raw materials are made from recycled wood, and the other is that I like the industrial effect texture that this raw material gives. Every work is already different due to the pattern of the wood, so no two paintings can be the same. This work will be delivered with Care Instructions for my encaustic paintings and a signed certificate of authenticity. Carefully packaged and tracked shipping. I ship this work in cardboard boxes carefully wrapped in bubble foil and protect the painting with cardboard. If you like my paintings you can have a piece of art for your beloved place. PLEASE KINDLY NOTE: - the colors in life may slightly vary from the photo due to lighting sources or monitor settings. - the parcel will be sent from Hungary. Should the delivery address be outside the EU, the recipient may need to declare the painting and pay some local VAT and customs duties.

„I show the details instead of the whole, sort of inviting the viewer to embrace and understand their surroundings” Dora Stork was selected artist in the London Art Biennale in 2023, an award-winning Hungarian painter whose art has appeared in solo and group exhibitions in the UK, Hungary, and Romania. Her work can also be found in many private collections in the United States, the European Union, and Japan. Dora is an abstract realistic encaustic artist: abstract in the world of color, realistic in the world of form, and symbolist in meaning.
