This August Mamut Pastels received a special visit from a dear friend-Mihaela Zoeva, who is also a very talented young artist.
We were happy to invite her to try our pastels , and share with her our entusiasm about color!
We improvised an open art studio on the communal terrace at the top of our building and we filmed her ,while she was creating an unusual series of big-size abstract figurative drawings.

Another year, the Soft Pastel contest of the Central Mass Pastel Society of Massachusetts, Marks of Distinction National Exhibition, was held, in which Mamut Pastels had the opportunity to participate by awarding three prizes to the jury's selection. The jurors of selection this year were Loriann Signori and Javad Soleimanpour, and our Judge of Awards, Mim Brooks Fawcett.

Much has been written about the creative process. About what it means or how this process is developed to reach a result. Who doesn't want a magical or understandable formula to create? To create art, to create something new, to amaze viewers...
The creative process has diverse components that intervene in the creation of the “work” of art.
