From the very beginning of Mamut Pastels I had a very clear vision in mind that became a mission. In addition to producing high quality Soft Pastels, I also thought that something important had been somewhat neglected regarding this medium. To reclaim the Soft Pastel painting and Pastel technique so that it would no longer be considered a minor technique. To make known the possibilities of pastel and share it with as many people as possible, and to look for formulas that would bring this precious medium closer to people.

Mamut Prize at the Pastel Society Exhibition 2023. Finally, the big day arrived! The opening of the Pastel Society Annual Exhibition at the Mall Galleries in London, 2023 and the time to select the Mamut Prize winner among all the amazing artists exhibiting their work. A privilege I did not want to miss!
