Of seas and skies – an art exhibition in Valletta

The artist, Alexia Coppini, who paints mostly in oils will be presenting her 25th solo art exhibition Beau Monde at 59, Strait Street, Valletta. It will be open from Monday to Friday during working hours. Alexia is particularly well known for her seascapes and ethereal skies.

The exhibition runs for three months, from 5th April to 5th June 2025. Alexia's works are a combination of classic seascapes along with terra firma paintings of olive trees, some of which are enhanced with gold leaf. The application of gold leaf, a novel and whimsical idea, has now become extremely popular with clients old and new.

Her interest in art started when she was at school and continued later in life. Alexia studied art under the guidance of Margaret Chircop, her art teacher at the Convent of the Sacred Heart. During these years she developed her talent and later discovered that life could be better fulfilled through artistic expression that gives satisfaction not only to herself but also enjoyment to whoever shares her work. Later in life Alexia attended art courses by Anton Calleja and Debbie Caruana Dingli. The artist is versatile in various subjects, which include portraits, still life and animals. For her the natural environment is a great source of inspiration.

Alexia's attitude to her art and to creativity is two-fold: an intimate eye for what is beautiful and appealing in nature and her emotional connection with the world.
She has personally presented two paintings, a seascape and an abstract, to the Board of the Royal Academy of Arts in London for inclusion in their regular Summer exhibition.

Alexia has been entrusted with various important commissions in Malta, and apart from exporting numerous works has also travelled to Holland to carry the execution of large murals.
In July 2019, she was invited to exhibit five of her seascapes in the Anton Schranz exhibition held in Ochsenhausen, Germany.

2025 is a very exciting year for Alexia as she continues to create unique pieces at her studios in Malta and Sicily, working towards a further exhibition in October.
