Ludo Hoes | Deniz | beewax on linn | 48x37x11,5 cm |

Ludo Hoes’ wax-based works delve into the interplay between time, material, and perception.

Using refined beeswax applied in thin, semi-transparent layers, Hoes builds depth and texture through a meticulous process of layering, fusing, and smoothing. The result is a luminous surface that reveals subtle shifts in color and form, encouraging a meditative engagement with the artwork.

In his paintings, light, earth, and sky converge, creating a space that feels both intimate and expansive. The absence of clear forms or references allows the viewer to project their own interpretations, making each encounter with the work unique.

Hoes’ careful use of wax—imbued with associations of fragility, craftsmanship, and nature—adds a tactile dimension to his art. His paintings become not just visual experiences but invitations to pause and reflect on the quiet beauty of the natural world.
