MALTA IMPRESSIONS

I was born in Malta in 1965, and work in Malta as a consultant paediatrician with a special interest in paediatric cardiology. I live in Pembroke with my wife, two children and Siamese cats. I have found painting Maltese landscapes and seascapes a particularly relaxing pastime. The medium is oil on canvas with a painting knife and John Borg Manduca, the famous Maltese impressionist artist, is my inspiration and mentor. These paintings tend to be both Impressionist, Expressionist and Fauvist. My paintings are of varying sizes, from 30 by 20 cm to 180 by 80 cm, and are for sale. 
This site also details my photography and my books.

Tales of Cities
Mobile photography

Photography is another hobby. This project compares cities by means of photographs taken with and edited on mobile phones and has led to several exhibitions and a book.

Sayings to paint by

“I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn't say any other way - things I had no words for.” Georgia O'Keeffe

“I applied streaks and blobs of colors onto the canvas with a palette knife, and I made them sing with all the intensity I could...” Wassily Kandinsky

“No small dabs of color - you want plenty of paint to paint with.” John Singer Sargent

“When the color achieves richness, the form attains its fullness also.” Paul Cezanne

“There is a logic of colors, and it is with this alone, and not with the logic of the brain, that the painter should conform.” Paul Cezanne

“Color is all. When color is right, form is right. Color is everything, color is vibration like music; everything is vibration.” Marc Chagall

“Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano with many strings. The artist is the hand that plays, touching one key or another, to cause vibrations in the soul.” Wassily Kandinsky

“It is the eye of ignorance that assigns a fixed and unchangeable color to every object; beware of this stumbling block.” Paul Gauguin

"My painting is what I have to give back to the world for what the world gives to me." Georgia O'Keeffe
