SUNSET (SLEEPING VICTORIES) Print

I am a passionate Gibraltarian artist who has been painting all my life. I find Gibraltar’s location provides great opportunities for fresh ideas. I have always enjoyed painting outdoors and participated in many competitions and exhibitions in Gibraltar, Spain and Italy. My first Highly Commended award was achieved in 1999 with the Heritage Trust and won 1st Prize in 2018, along with awards from the Fine Arts Association, The Spring Exhibition and the International Exhibition in Gibraltar. I also won the People’s Choice award at an exhibition in the Garrison Library for my painting “The Return”. My first commission was from Raffles Restaurant on Queensway Quay, in 1995, which was subsequently used for their marketing and have undertaken various large mural commissions in more recent years and assisted my son, Paul, in his artistic projects (including the street-art mural in the tunnel at Alameda Gardens and the MTV Musical Festival). In 2000 I was a founding member of the Fine Arts Association which operates from the Fine Arts Gallery in Casemates. An avid lover of all things God created and nature, I am a Christian Artist and exhibited my collection “For the Glory of God” at the John Mackintosh Hall, Gibraltar in July 2020 and at the Fine Arts Gallery. Our loving Father wants us to feel whole and complete and it is through talents that we can find our unique calling in life. Your talent is God’s gift to you and what you do with it is your gift back to God.
