CINDER |

 PUNGAREHU

PUNGAREHU is inspired by Aotearoa's volcanic formation. 


A delicate blush, like petals kissed by decay,

The air burdened with ancient sorrows. 

The depths of an ember heart, now faded, forlorn.

An ashen cloak, powdery, withered with scorch.


A pallid veil, buried secrets, 

 The remnants of eruptions and fiery echoes.

Petrified dreams, whispers of ruined hope, 

Enigmatic beauty, turning all to ash and dust.

ALCHEMY RITUALS + ODYSSEY

THE DEVELOPMENT OUR CURATED PALLET


Earth Colours and Organic Pigments



The NATURAL EARTH AND OCHER pigments encompass a spectrum of hues derived solely from the Earth itself. These pigments give rise to gentle, partially translucent shades, revealing nuanced undertones when blended with opaque foundations. While their tinting power may not rival that of our Oxide pigments in terms of strength or opacity, their colours possess an unmatched quality that eludes artificial counterparts. 

Carefully and responsibly sourced by hand, these pigments originate from quarries and mountain ranges scattered across the breathtaking landscapes of New Zealand. Moreover, they are non-toxic, ensuring a safe and conscientious artistic experience.
