This exhibition showcases the brilliance and intensity of colour achievable with quality artists' pastels. Made from pure pigment, artists’ pastels maintain their colour without fading, cracking, or discolouring over time. These materials combined with each artist's unique touch and a blend of traditional and modern techniques, results in stunning artworks. The variety of pieces highlights the versatility of pastels, capturing fine detail, loose expression, abstract subjects, and playful use of colour and light, all of which stimulate the visual senses.

Pastels are ideal for depicting scenes from nature, still life, and the imagination. Their rich, velvety texture, coupled with a wide range of techniques and subjects, enhances the visual experience, making it a true delight for the eyes.
