Baohong

There are papers that are born from a machine.
And others that are born from a story.
Baohong was born from an ancient heritage,
carries within him the soul of the past…
and the quiet audacity of today's artists.

Originating in Fujian Province, China, Baohong Paper Mill perpetuates a papermaking expertise rooted in centuries of history. There, paper is a noble material, crafted with care, passed down as an art in itself.

But Baohong's strength also lies in having listened to contemporary artists - collaborating with watercolorists from around the world to create papers that meet today's techniques, while retaining the soul of tradition.

It is this ability to make the link between tradition and contemporary sensibility that touched us.
At PygmaliART, we did not discover Baohong in a catalog.
It was the artists who first told us about it.
A name that came up often, always with the same affection,
the same regret of not being able to get it easily here.
So we listened.
And when we discovered this paper,
we knew he had a place among us.

We are committed to offering only artist-quality materials—not out of snobbery, but because we know what a difference it makes.
We believe that the sensory experience of creation must be carried by materials worthy of the artistic gesture .
Papers that absorb properly. That don't yellow. That reveal the light of a pigment without betraying it.
Papers designed to last — and to gently support the audacity to create.

Baohong embodies this vision.
It is a discreet but rigorous manufacturer, rooted in a culture of gesture and material, and capable of creating reliable, sensitive, and accessible professional papers.
No compromise on quality. Just enough for the artist to focus on what matters most: their movement, their color, their inner light.

This is why Baohong is now part of our collection.
And it is with pride that we present it to you.
