Last month, Maurice de Giorgio opened an exhibition of oil paintings by Isabelle Borg at the Headquarters of Din L-Art Helwa in Valletta.

While Isabelle’s earlier solo landscape exhibitions concentrated mainly on the theme of Malta’s constructed coast line, this exhibition of Maltese Landscape has been inspired by a number of views of Malta’s natural scenery – or where the intense presence of nature still overpowers.

Through the process of painting in oils, the use of colour and line evoke an understanding of the landscape from reference to drawings made from direct observation.

Isabelle Borg is a Maltese artist who graduated in painting at the Camberwell School of Art. She has taught Art full-time at the University of Malta since 1994.

The exhibition is in support of the Din l-Art Helwa Restoration Project, and has been sponsored by The Farsons Foundation and Marsovin.

133, Melita Street, Valletta, Open until 26 May every day between 9am-1pm Tel. 21 225952
