ANDREW’S ART
Through each encaustic painting, Andrew brings the viewer into an organic sky landscape unlike any other. Rich layers of imagination, pure beeswax and damar resin medium, dry pigments/oils, as well as fibre, wood, metal and other materials, are used in combination to tell a story. Sometimes moody, sometimes whimsical, always thought-provoking, Csafordi’s paintings seem, at times, as if he has reached down and ripped up the earth to show his viewers what lies beneath the surface … both literally and metaphorically. Each painting offers a portal into one’s imagination, and to a mysterious, luminous and textural world beyond.
