Taħt is-Salib tal-Għolja

Amongst the stones, the Shepherd treads,
With lambs in tow and calm that spreads.
The cross stands high—faith’s silent guide,
As grace walks humbly by their side.

This acrylic on canvas painting belongs to the religious narrative genre, integrating sacred iconography with local Maltese rural elements. The technique is detailed and representational, using careful brushwork and earthy tones to capture the pastoral landscape and spiritual presence. The inclusion of traditional architecture and landscape grounds the divine in a familiar setting. Symbolism is clear, yet the composition remains warm and approachable.
