"Orientalism" is the name given to an exotic genre of art that began in Europe in the 17th Century, born of a fascination for all things oriental, and continued to develop through the 18th and 19th Century.

"Orientalia" takes its inspiration from the beautiful paintings of this period - fascinating and so romantic: an invitation to go on a journey - real or imaginary.

Orientalia - be seduced.

"The colour of the Orient, the smell of the Orient, it's remoteness, it's mystery, it's glory. Another life, another dream of a life."
Georges Clairin (1843-1919)
