Cactus by the Stream - Sold Painting

I have been interested in art and practiced drawing since young. Primarily I am a self-thought artist. In the year 2000 I studied painting and drawing at the School of Art in Malta. My preferred medium is oil. I work mostly from imagination. Anything I see or experience which seems beautiful to me at the moment can inspire me in many ways. Even objects which do not have aesthetic beauty and look ugly may be inspiring. I like to communicate my visions, thought transmutations and emotional moments combining the romantic with the surreal. I often reach my aim through a conceptual process in a symbolic way. My inclination is to use a very bold palette of colors. In my art work I mostly love to transmit beauty which I carry out with a blend of form, color and strong light. Since the year 2001 I have been participating regularly in several collective local exhibitions and had two solo exhibitions. The recent one was held at the Circolo Gozitano in Gozo. I exhibit regularly with the Malta Society of Arts, Manufacture and Commerce and other local art communities. I live in Malta but travel regularly to Sweden which is my second home.
