Marsaxlokk Harbour

Sunfire sky and crimson tide,
Cradle boats in boldest pride,
Their hues like music painted wide—
A harbour’s soul, no need to hide.

This acrylic work belongs to the expressive landscape genre, infused with elements of modernist colourism.
The use of exaggerated warm tones and rhythmic brushstrokes gives it a vibrant, dynamic quality.
The boats are stylised with heavy contouring, enhancing structure and presence.
Technique involves layered colour blocks and sweeping gestures to convey atmosphere over realism.
