Bir-Rota fuq il-Fosos

Bir-Rota fuq il-Fosos

Through the sunlit square, the cyclist glides,
Echoes of tradition where history abides.
Between the columns and timeless facades,
Life unfolds on Malta’s storied promenades.

This oil painting blends figurative realism with abstract elements, utilizing bold, fragmented lines to emphasize movement and energy. The interplay of light and shadow is rendered through warm ochres and contrasting blacks, creating depth and dynamism. The composition’s focus on the cyclist against the classical architectural backdrop evokes a blend of modern life and heritage. The textured brushstrokes add vibrancy, capturing the spirit of the Fosos square.
