Venom & Nectar — Mixed media encaustic on canvas by Papayon

This 8x8” mixed media piece on canvas, layered with encaustic, explores the duality of attraction and danger. The snake, a timeless symbol of temptation and transformation, slithers amidst vibrant yellows and reds that evoke vitality and warning. The embedded “Romeo y Julieta” cigar band hints at forbidden romance and indulgence, further deepening the tension between desire and caution. Through layers of wax, texture, and symbolic interplay, Venom & Nectar invites viewers to reflect on the fine line between allure and peril.
