Gallarija fil-Marsa

Il-Gallarija fil Marsa

Where wrought iron sings of stories untold,
And vibrant hues weave warmth in folds.
The balcony whispers of Marsa’s embrace,
A timeless dance of heritage and grace.

This painting captures a traditional Maltese balcony using a semi-abstract approach with cubist influences. Strong black outlines segment the scene into fragmented yet cohesive forms, while warm and cool tones blend to evoke light and shadow. The intricate details of the ironwork are stylized, emphasizing texture and rhythm. The interplay of shapes and colours brings life to a familiar architectural element, reflecting its cultural significance.
