View Towards Xaghra, Gozo by Natasha Dadush

In View of Dingli from Lunzjata (below), artist Mark Schembri captures a view of Dingli from a vantage point along the Lunjzata trail, a popular hiking route that begins at Dingli Cliffs on Malta's scenic western coast.

The skyline features the silhouette of the town’s iconic church, visible through the overhanging foliage of the dense woodland, as if being watched covertly by some mysterious and hidden observer.

In Tal-Mirakli Chapel (below), artist Steve Sciberras depicts Tal-Mirakli, a 17th-century chapel nestled in the outskirts of Lija, Malta.
Tal-Mirakli Chapel by Steve Sciberras
The chapel became known as 'the miraculous' because in 1743 a painting of the Madonna inside the chapel was said to have ‘shed a tear’. Shortly afterwards a huge earthquake hit the island, during which not a singe person died. The events were perceived to be connected and a miracle deemed to have taken place.

Using ‘wet-on-wet’ or ‘alla prima’ techniques, oil painter Steve Sciberras is known for his warm palette and painterly style. Besides landscape, Sciberras also works in other genres, including portraiture and still-life, both in his studio and ‘en plein-air.’
Rough Road Ahead by Debbie Bonello
In Rough Road Ahead, artist Debbie Bonello invites us to join her on the winding country paths which crisscross the scenic Maltese landscape. Rough Road Ahead was painted en plein air in Golden Bay using subtle hues and delicate textures to evoke the gentle pace of country life.

Gharb by Christopher Saliba
Gharb by Christopher Saliba features Gharb, a scenic town in the north of the island of Gozo. The artist uses a dramatic blend of reds, browns and oranges to emphasise the familiar shape of the church, positioning it in sharp contrast against the setting sun.

The Maltese city of Senglea is well known for its old fortifications including the Gardjola, and towering over the fortifications is the Porto Salvo church.
Panoramic View of Senglea by Kevin Sciberras
In Panoramic View of Senglea, artist Kevin Sciberras applies layered planes of rich hues to build a sense of the sheer mass and solidity of the impressive architecture.

In his improvisational abstracts, such as Untitled B (below), Bulgarian painter Bogdan Dyulgerov invites us to connect with his vision and the emotions he experiences in the act of painting.
Untitled B by Bogdan Dyulgerov
He applies many layers, and because every layer contains a story, he peels back paint in certain areas to reveal parts of the narrative which came before.

Luce di una Stella (below) by Rosette Bonello, translates as "Light of a Star," and is an homage to the everyday brilliance of women.

The painting celebrates the enduring radiance and strength of women, who are represented as beacons of light and symbols of power and resilience. The artist invites us to reflect on the impact that women have had on every facet of our lives.
