Welcome to Batik Gallery!

Batik is a silk painting technique. First, the contours of the picture are drawn by wax then the paint is applied. Batik combines features characteristic for aquarelle, graphical arts and vitrage.

Original pictures presented in the gallery are worked in “cold batik”. The silk painting is completed on the artistic frame, which makes them really exclusive. All presented pictures are handcrafted. To make a “cold Batik”, the artist first brushes a transparent reserving substance over a silk cloth stretched and pinned on a special frame. Cold Batik is a laborious technique, but the pictures are very delicate and expressive. The variety of styles ranges from a children’s picture to a large painted panel. Batik can be a perfect gift for the ones you love or a unique detail of your interior. Here you can order a copy of the artwork displayed. You can also order a postcard, based on any batik in the gallery. Also, you can choose the picture’s subject yourself - the author will paint anything you like.
