Lewis Pass New Zealand Original Pastel

A vibrant interpretation of one of New Zealand’s great alpine routes.

Cliffs rise and fold into one another in rounded, whimsical form, while the rolling hills curve with confident rhythm through the landscape. The colours are bold and alive, bright greens, layered tones, and sculpted contours that give the piece movement and depth.

This piece carries memory for those who have travelled the pass the feeling of height, curve and open possibility, but it also stands alone as a study in form and flow.

How Your Original Will Arrive and What to Do Next

This is an original artwork, created by the artists hands using soft pastels, a natural medium composed of pure pigment, clay, and a binder. These pastels (Rembrandt and Sennelier) are lightfast, permanent, and chemical-free, offering a life time of colour and depth.

“Degas used soft pastels in his ballerina series (1880s), the originals remain as vibrant today as the day he painted them.”

Because of its value and delicacy, the artwork is not framed before delivery. This reduces the carbon footprint as well as ensures:

• The surface is protected from pressure and vibration during shipping

• You can work with a trusted local framer to choose the right frame for your space and style

• The artwork stays in its best possible condition until it’s safely behind glass 

  Please do not attempt to flatten or frame the artwork yourself. Originals must be carefully unrolled and mounted by a professional framer to avoid creasing, smudging, or damage.

This is the beginning of your role as its curator, the artwork has travelled from the artist’s hands to yours. Let it be framed with care and intention, ready to hold its place in your world.
