By: Tonio Mallia 

Date Visited: 1st May

Location: St.James Cavalier, Valletta. 

The exhibition has war and conflict as its main theme and features portraits of individuals who would have been caught up in such events. The exhibition comprises of 23 large paintings executed in water media with interestingly enough hand made rice paper. The artist used quite sombre colours to execute the sadness and conflict of war. The exhibition was quite emotional and one painting that really hit me was a painting called ''The Sea''.  I liked the idea that he used home made rice paper to give a gritty texture to the paintings and perhaps in the future I will try his technique out.
