People are afraid to break soft pastels. It is painfull to see your work smashed into little pieces, but in some way, it also has a certain beauty…

Natalia Leonova, Soft pastel artist. Painting process with Mamut pastels and her impressions about Mamut.

Inspiration can come from the most diverse places.
From a book, a movie, a situation or a walk... I live near the Mediterranean Sea and the colors are abundant.

After several months of work, some other months of testing, and some more spend on pastels production I finally (finally!) release officially Mamut as a Soft Pastel brand… And Graciela Bombalova “Bogra” visits the studio to test the Mamut pastels!

Few days ago I had the chance to visit and meet an old color master. Maybe the last Handmade Oil Paint color artisan in Spain. Since it came to my ears that there was still an artisan manufacturer of oils in Spain, I had no doubt that I wanted to meet him!

At home we love celebrations! And we celebrate both Easters, but I particularly love the orthodox one… We take our time to choose the white eggs, (Which are difficult to find lately!) to paint and decor them, and then we make some egg fights!
