Malta, an island paradise in the centre of the Mediterranean, has a long history of fishing, which has helped to establish its distinct cultural character and illustrious nautical past. Fishing has played a significant role in Maltese culture for many years, influencing not just the island’s unique food but also its economy and traditions. As a painter, I’m drawn to the enticement of Malta’s fishing scene, and I hope to honour this long-standing custom and its significant contribution to the island’s culture through my artwork.
I enjoy painting a lot whilst I explore the lively fishing scenes along Malta’s beautiful shores. The simple beauty of fishing communities and traditional fishing boats both add to the compelling story I want to tell through my art. I capture the passion and spirit of Malta’s fishing culture by employing colours and brushstrokes to bring to life the rhythmic dance of the fishing boats on the azure waters.
I want to use my artistic journey to highlight the value of fishing in Maltese culture and its significant contribution to the preservation of the island’s heritage.
These are some of my local fishing themed paintings, hope you like them!
