Her works are surrounded by a mysterious, painterly atmosphere created by the application of an antique wax technique - encaustic or photoencaustic.<\/p>\n<p>For some time now, the artist has been intensively exploring the expressive possibilities of this medium. Working with hot wax fascinates Agnete Sabbagh in several ways: it enables her to combine the ancient technique with modern digital photography, analogue ink or gouache painting by burning hot, liquid wax onto the printed photo in layers and working with different structures, carved elements or textures. The play with the partial blurring creates a special depth in the pictures, while at the same time the waxy sealing creates a certain distance, which nevertheless evokes the desire to be able to touch the works.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_column_1 et_pb_column et_pb_column_2_5 et-last-child et_block_column et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough\"><div class=\"et_pb_gallery_0 et_pb_gallery et_pb_bg_layout_light et_pb_slider et_pb_gallery_fullwidth clearfix et_pb_module\" data-auto-rotate=\"off\" data-auto-rotate-speed=\"\"><div class=\"et_pb_gallery_items et_post_gallery clearfix\" data-per_page=\"4\"><div class=\"et_pb_gallery_item et_pb_gallery_item_0_0\"><div class=\"et_pb_gallery_image landscape\" data-per_page=\"4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bitburgart.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Portraet-Agnete-Sabbagh-SW.jpg\" title=\"Agnete Sabbagh\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/bitburgart.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Portraet-Agnete-Sabbagh-SW.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8237\" \/><span class=\"et_overlay\" data-icon=\"\" data-icon-tablet=\"\" data-icon-phone=\"\"><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_gallery_item et_pb_gallery_item_0_1\"><div class=\"et_pb_gallery_image landscape\" data-per_page=\"4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bitburgart.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Sabbagh-Agnete-LITTLE-CHINA-GIRL.jpg\" title=\"Agnete Sabbagh\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/bitburgart.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Sabbagh-Agnete-LITTLE-CHINA-GIRL.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8238\" \/><span class=\"et_overlay\" data-icon=\"\" data-icon-tablet=\"\" data-icon-phone=\"\"><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_gallery_item et_pb_gallery_item_0_2\"><div class=\"et_pb_gallery_image landscape\" data-per_page=\"4\"><a href=\"https:\/\/bitburgart.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Sabbagh-Agnete-Erinnerungen-Murmelspielen-gerahmt.jpg\" title=\"Agnete Sabbagh\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/bitburgart.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/10\/Sabbagh-Agnete-Erinnerungen-Murmelspielen-gerahmt.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8239\" \/><span class=\"et_overlay\" data-icon=\"\" data-icon-tablet=\"\" data-icon-phone=\"\"><\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Cologne-based artist Agnete Sabbagh is a visual storyteller; the motifs are depictions of a brief moment captured in a photograph &#8211; sometimes photo details from old illustrated books, sometimes her own photographs.
