In October Celia Borg Cardona will present her new collection of paintings in a show titled Construct at the Upper Halls of St James Cavalier.

In this exhibition, Celia's recent work shows that her steadfast interest in streetscapes and bird's eye views of gatherings of people has now turned into a focus on sweeping, soaring architectural views of Maltese towns, sometimes on correspondingly oversize canvases.

Celia was born in Oxford, UK in 1957, studied at the University of Malta and then acquired formal art training at the Malta School of Art. She spent several years in the studio of Anton Calleja and has since put aside her career in pharmacy to dedicate herself full-time to painting.

She has been exhibiting her work in a number of collective and solo exhibitions, in Malta and overseas, since 2004. She has also received prestigious international commissions and a number of awards over the years.

Curated by art historian Francesca Balzan, this exhibition will run from 10 October until 9 November at St James Cavalier, Valletta. Open daily. Free entrance.
