Sydney Through Art: A Collection That Captures the Soul of the Harbour City

Sydney has a kind of magic - one that blends history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes into something truly unique. From the iconic sails of the Opera House to the quiet beauty of hidden beaches, we believe this city was made to be immortalised in art. That’s exactly what inspired our latest collection: a vibrant, textured celebration of Sydney’s essence.

A Love Letter to Sydney in Oil Pastels

Oil pastels have a certain rawness to them - rich, expressive, and deeply textured. They blur the lines between painting and drawing, creating a dreamlike quality that feels just right for capturing Sydney’s shifting light and endless blues. Fun fact: Oil pastels were originally designed to make art more accessible, giving children and young artists an easy way to play with colour. But in 1949, Picasso himself saw their potential, pushing for a professional-grade version that artists could use to create real masterpieces.

And here we are, decades later, using this same expressive medium to capture Sydney’s beauty in all its forms.

The History Behind the Harbour

Before European settlers arrived, Sydney Harbour was home to the Gadigal, Cammeraygal, Eora, and Wanegal peoples, whose deep connection to the land and water shaped the area for thousands of years. Their presence is still felt today in the harbour’s stories, rock engravings, and the very spirit of the city.

Fast-forward to 1770, and Lieutenant James Cook sailed past the heads of what he called Port Jackson. But it wasn’t until 1788 that Captain Arthur Phillip and the First Fleet officially arrived, establishing a colony at Sydney Cove. And so, the modern city was born—layered with history, transformation, and an ever-changing skyline.
