Özet:

This innovative project in Saudi Arabia explored sustainability in artistic practice by creating artwork using natural resources in the country. The research was conducted to identify pigments that could be extracted from local plants and minerals, and a basic encaustic technique was used to experiment with these pigments. Handmade encaustic colours allowed for personalised artwork, resulting in two paintings showcasing the rich colour palette achievable using local resources. The project contributed to expanding knowledge about Saudi Arabia's resources and inspired other artists to explore sustainable artistic practices. This project demonstrates the potential for artists to be catalysts for change, encouraging innovative and sustainable approaches to artistic practice while utilising local resources and knowledge.
