Il-Gebla tal-Melh

Il-Ġebla tal-Melħ

Where land meets sea in sun-baked tones,
A salt-stone whispers ancient moans.
Crags carved by time, still wild and free,
Echo Malta’s steadfast memory.

This painting falls within the realist landscape genre, rendered with great attention to geological texture and Mediterranean light. The use of acrylics allows for vivid tonal control, particularly in the contrast between sea blues and rocky ochres. The brushwork is detailed yet loose enough to capture natural erosion and sun-drenched ambiance. It embodies a sensitive study of place—rooted in both observation and emotional resonance.
