Malgosia Benham

I am just starting out in pastels and am drawn to the immediacy and vitality of portraiture. My work explores the energy and emotion captured in the human face, using bold, direct strokes and a vivid, dynamic colour palette. I particularly enjoy drawing portraits of seniors.
I previously attended art school in London to study graphic design. However, after decades of working as a graphic designer, I have decided to return to my true passion: fine art.
