ArtDayME: Renowned painter Bita Vakili, after visiting the Vesta Color factory, said in a video interview:
"I have known Vesta for many years and have been using its products long before I met Mr. Hamidreza Shafiei, the CEO of Vesta."

Vakili, who holds six records at Christie’s auctions and has successfully participated ten times in Tehran Auction, added:
"Interestingly, on the very first day I was introduced to Mr. Shafiei and we spoke, I took a photo of my worktable and sent it to him. More than 50 percent of my worktable is covered with Vesta products."

This academically trained artist [holding a master’s degree] explained:
"My technique is mixed media, and I use a variety of materials. Almost 50 percent of those materials are Vesta products. There were a few items I hadn’t tried before, but they kindly gifted them to me—among them Vesta’s texture pastes, especially the adobe-inspired textures, which have recently appeared in my works. I will certainly continue testing these Vesta textures."

Vakili concluded:
"I have been using Vesta’s oil paints, acrylics, inks [Ecoline], and glass paints for years, and I am very satisfied with them."

This friendly six-hour visit included a tour of Vesta’s production lines and packaging departments, followed by a gathering where artists shared their views on Vesta colors and exchanged artistic memories.

Attendees included masters Pariyoush Ganji, Abbas Mashhadizadeh, Ebrahim Haghighi, Gholamreza Nami, Bahman Nikoo, Bita Vakili, Behnam Kamrani, Javad Bakhtiari, Eynoddin Sadeghzadeh, Ali Nedaei, Jamshid Haghighat-Shenas, Behzad Shishehgaran, Rezvan Sadeghzadeh, and Zarrin Omoumi.
