This painting was actually inspired by another of mine that I painted in Watercolour some years ago. I just wanted to make a modern interpretation of that, as it was quite a traditional painting. I started by drawing an outline similar to the watercolour, and it took quite some time to evolve it into the finished painting here. As I was putting brush on canvas it reminded me also of the fireworks back in Malta. In fact the two upright stems are symbolic of the fireworks going up in the sky before they explode into the magnificent display of colours that are Maltese fireworks. Although the original poppies where brilliant white, I wanted to add pink to them to make a more modern looking contrast to the overall painting. I also dripped paint from a lot of places to not only give it a more contemporary look but again to mimic the remnants of the fireworks as they die and fall onto the fields. I was also quite pleased with the movement that is present in the finished painting.

I was born in Malta into a family of jewellery makers. My early inspiration came via watching my two cousins paint in oils, and although I work mainly in Acrylics and Watercolours... the smell of turps still does something to my artistic senses! After spending more than 20 years in England as a professional artist, I was given the chance to produce and present my own art shows on Malta television... which I really love. My favorite is MALTA ON CANVAS where i go around the island and paint 'en plein air' much like the Impressionists loved doing. Recently I started to challenge myself to producing Abstract paintings but in line with my more traditional work. I feel that an artist should always strive to 'evolve' his work and challenge his mind and eyes1 www.johndimech.com Having now returned to the UK(2015) I am developing new ideas in my more modern modern paintings hoping to be inspired by more Abstract-expressionism art, but wanting the viewer to see images that one can readily recognize and respond to.
