My Colouring Book for Grown-Ups


"Orsolya Parádi’s sumptuous colouring book takes us on a tantalising tour of the Pandala Islands. A journey into this wonderful world, where we provide colour to its incredible characters and splendiferous settings, is a journey of artistic concentration and meditative relaxation as we take a welcome break from the stresses and strains of everyday life. The first work of its kind from a Hungarian artist, this is a meditative colouring book designed for adults. Every single detail is unique and drawn by hand, helping to create a sense of inner calm and relaxation."

‘Pandala’ is a word of my own invention formed from the Greek word ‘pan’ and the Sanskrit word ‘mandala’, and is designed to describe a world where creatures live in perfect harmony with their natural surroundings. When I was creating this colouring book, I immersed myself in the mystical world motifs and incorporated as much detail as I could to make it a fascinating feast to colour with time to reflect on the beauty of the world around us!
