Only this year I discovered how amazing pastels are. I found myself wanting to work with them a lot lately. It’s not just the result, your fingers turn into delicate artwork as well. I’m in love! It was on my bucketlist before, but now I’m sure I want to experience Holi at least once in my life…

In the last picture you can see the work of Yellena James. I came across this artist in a magazine last week. Her paintings are happy, yet subtile, and the colors she uses are beautiful. She says: “My latest works further explore the intricate and delicate forms of an imaginary ecosystem, twisting and floating together in an alluring environment. I attempt to create an ethereal place which is hypnotically familiar and yet hauntingly exotic, adding tiny little details in a sort of compulsive meditation, until a perfect balance is created. The intricacy and high detail, along with hints of existing organic shapes lend to the intimacy and believability of each new world.”
