Workshop at National Art School Dimitar Dobrovich, Sliven, Bulgaria
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.
The Pastel Society, 126th Annual Exhibition, BENCHMARK
Once again, the annual exhibition of the Pastel Society of the UK was held in London this January. This event is, in my humble opinion, currently one of the best dry pastel exhibitions and competitions in the world.
Hundreds of Soft Pastel artists or painters using other dry techniques presented their works hoping to be selected in this wonderful art and cultural event. The Soft pastel technique stops being considered a minor technique to become the protagonist, and shines with its own light in the walls of the Mall Galleries, in London.
