Taking The Lion’s Share

Taking the Lion’s Share

Poetic Evaluation:

Amid Floriana’s historic charm, the athletes engage,
Strength and teamwork brought to a fountain’s stage.
Their synchronized movement, a dance so refined,
Echoes the lion’s pride and the human mind.

This oils on canvas composition fuses realism with impressionistic touches.
The interplay of vivid colours highlights the lively atmosphere of the scene.
Figures are meticulously detailed, set against a dynamically abstracted background.
The work transposes a sporting event into an urban Maltese setting, blending sports and cultural homage.
