Fuq il-Karettun

Fuq il-Karettun

Beneath the blazing Mediterranean sun,
A humble cart and horse as one.
Through village paths they weave and turn,
Echoes of time, traditions that burn.

This gouache on paper painting employs a semi-abstract style with bold, fragmented lines that convey motion and energy. The earthy, sunlit palette captures the rustic charm of rural life. The dynamic interplay between light and shadow enhances the narrative’s depth, blending a nostalgic realism with a modernist abstraction that elevates the scene’s cultural significance.
