Soft Pastel

2025

Mandy Maria is a contemporary Scottish artist working primarily in soft pastel, known for her bold, atmospheric interpretations of landscape. Drawing inspiration from Scotland’s rugged terrain, shifting light, and dramatic skies, her work captures both the intensity and stillness found in nature.With a background in industrial design, Mandy brings a strong sense of composition and structure to her practice, balanced by an intuitive and expressive approach to mark-making. Her use of high-pigment pastel creates rich, tactile surfaces that evoke the physicality of place. Her work often explores contrast: light and shadow, calm and chaos, presence and absence. Rather than depicting a specific location, each piece becomes a distilled emotional response to landscape—an invitation for the viewer to connect with a place through feeling rather than detail.
