Artist Madeleine Vella Satariano invites art enthusiasts to experience the raw power of nature and human emotion in her seventh solo exhibition, Creative Force, opening on 17 at Ir-Razzett Tal-Markiz Mallia Tabone in Mosta.
Creative Force, as the title suggests, is a dynamic fusion of nature's untamed energy and Vella Satariano's expressive artistic style. The exhibition showcases a diverse collection of works, including captivating seascapes that range from serene tranquillity to powerful intensity. Viewers will feel the surge of waves and the untamed spirit of galloping wild horses, all embodying the artist's pursuit of freedom and liberation in her art.
Beyond these powerful depictions of nature, Vella Satariano will also exhibit a variety of paintings exploring diverse subjects, each born from a personal emotion or experience. This exhibition marks a new chapter in her artistic journey, featuring a selection of watercolour pieces alongside her signature works.
A significant highlight of Creative Force is the artist's continued exploration of finger painting. This technique allows Vella Satariano to forge a deeper connection with her subjects, resulting in more intimate and expressive creations.
The exhibition will be inaugurated by Stefan Caruana M.A. Theatre and Perf (Melit), B.A. Music and Theatre Studies (Melit).
The exhibition will run from Saturday, 17 to Sunday, 25 May at Ir-Razzett Tal-Markiz Mallia Tabone, Mosta. The opening reception will be held on Saturday, 16 May. Opening hours are from 10am to 12noon and from 6 to 8pm.

About the artist
Madeleine Vella Satariano is a Maltese artist whose work is deeply influenced by emotions, experiences and observations. Growing up in Sliema, the sea shaped her artistic vision, leading her to create paintings that evoke both freedom and tranquillity. Her love for horses is also a recurring theme in her art. With vibrant colours and dynamic compositions, Madeleine brings energy and life to her work.
Her father, Cecil Satariano, a filmmaker, photographer, author and painter, was her first major artistic influence. She later honed her skills at The Malta School of Art and further developed her unique style while studying abroad with the esteemed artist Cliff Fleener.
Madeleine experiments with various mediums, with finger painting becoming a dominant technique in her recent work. This method allows her an intimate and expressive connection with her art. This exhibition marks her seventh solo show, and she has participated in numerous collective exhibitions both locally and internationally. Her talent has been recognised through her inclusion in The Iconography in Malta, Encyclopaedia of Maltese Painters since 1500, compiled by Guzeppi Theuma.
