Red Bull Print

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.
