As a child in the 60’s Malta, I was always drawing and wanted to pursue a career in art. Unfortunately, I was not allowed to take up art at school as it was thought at the time that no one can make a living out of art. Not pursuing my interest in art, was my biggest regret in life.
As I was nearing retirement and just before the Covid pandemic, I took up painting, attending various art classes. Coming from the Mediterranean, I am influenced by the Impressionists and fascinated by light and bright colours. I now paint mostly in acrylic as I like to use thick paint in the impressionist style. I like to experiment with mixed media and different subjects and moving more towards abstract style of painting. Paint from the heart rather than the mind.
