Djar fil-Marsa

Djar fil-Marsa

Amid the humble streets where shadows reside,
A sacred niche offers a guardian’s guide.
Time etches stories on walls worn and bare,
Whispers of Marsa’s soul linger in the air.

This oil painting employs a semi-abstract approach, with strong linear elements breaking the form into angular planes. The use of bright whites juxtaposed with warm earthy tones highlights architectural details, while the subtle play of light and shadow adds depth. The fragmented strokes and overlapping lines evoke a Cubist influence, emphasizing structure and rhythm within the urban scene. The niche featuring the statue acts as a focal point, blending the sacred with the everyday.
