My attraction to nature and plants can be explained in the same way as my attraction to the built environment. We superseded nature by our built habitat and then we put it back into our spaces in little pots with soil in it. Orchids are the typical example for that, except that fact this plant is not even a native spice of the climate I’m living in. I have many of them and I’m always trying to keep it alive again and again. But what is this obsession? 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. Due to the OSB board, these works of art are very stable but heavy. This is recycled art.

Dora Stork.
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, France, Hungary, and Romania. Her work can also be found in many private collections in the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, and Japan.
Dora describes themselves as abstract realist encaustic painter, meaning they use color in an abstract way, form in a realist way, and imbue their work with symbolic meaning. Her paintings reflect her interest in public life and social and economic processes, presenting her unique perspective on these issues. Dora aims to create dreamlike compositions that prompt the viewer to question their perceptions, with inappropriate details and strange circumstances creating a sense of familiarity.She uses hot wax painting, an ancient technique that provides durability, vividness, and scratch resistance. Dora only uses self-made wax media, without oil or other paints. She applies layers of hot wax paint, controlling the flow and preventing the unwanted mixing of colors.
