Wignacourt Water Tower, Floriana

Wignacourt Water Tower

A sentinel of ages, steadfast in frame,
Echoing whispers of its historical name.
The hues of dusk embrace its form,
A relic of purpose through sun and storm.

Crafted in acrylics with vivid delight,
Bold contrasts bring its grandeur to light.
Layer upon layer, textures unfold,
A tale in pigment, timeless and bold.

This acrylic on canvas blends architectural realism with a dramatic abstract expressionist backdrop.
The bold contrast between structure and atmosphere intensifies the monument’s solemn presence.
Loose brushwork and layered hues evoke a turbulent sky, echoing the gravity of remembrance.
The technique emphasizes emotional resonance over literal depiction, bridging history and homage.
