WELL HERE IT IS… my latest wax (encaustic) painting : “The Spider Grandmother.” She is a prominent figure in Native American mythology, among the Hopi and Navajo populations . Shes a creator goddess, teacher, and protector, and embodies the art of weaving, symbolizing the interconnectedness of life.

HAPPY FRIDAY! I just finished my latest encaustic (wax) painting, "Zeus and Hera." Inspired by their tumultuous relationship, I incorporated symbolic elements and a new color palette to convey raw emotion. Take a look! #rachelsantel #waxartist #encaustic #zeusandhera

Here it is, my first encaustic painting of Hindu Goddess Lakshmi, titled “Lakshmi’s Emergence from the Samudra Manthana.” This legend tells of gods and demons churning the ocean of milk to obtain the nectar of immortality. During this, Lakshmi and other celestial beings emerged from the sea.

HERE is my wax ( encaustic) painting:
“The Egyptian Goddess of the Stars, Nut.” Nut is the protector of the dead, ensuring their passage to the afterlife where their spirits become stars . If you look closely, you’ll see the faces of those that have passed in the mountains..#rachelsantel

Happy Easter everyone! In case you haven’t seen this painting here is my “ Salvator Mundi in Wax” after Leonardo’s possibly lost painting. Salvator Mundi means savior of the world. The crystal orb held is a significant symbol, representing the crystalline sphere of the heavens. #rachelsantel

Hey everyone. I’m excited to share my new Sculpture. This is:”Persephone, the Goddess of Spring ”.
She was abducted by Hades, who is the king of the underworld and each spring She resurrects and brings flowers and vegetation. This is my interpretation of her.#rachelsantel #persephone #springbegins

Good morning! Have you ever seen a BLUE BEE? I think this is a sweat bee . I’m not sure but I did find an article where they used to be extremely rare. If anyone knows for sure please let me know. It was beautiful!

My daily art share. This oil painting was inspired by Hamlet’s tale of Ophelia. She supposedly killed herself or fell into the lake and drowned. I decided to remake another scenario where she was saved by the Lady of the Lake.
