In the distance (2018)
Sarah Calleja
It all started when I fell in love with painting, the process, the exhilaration of putting paint to paper and transform a thought into a painting. As an artist the hand is the extension of the brain and with practice this allows you with many (or few) strokes to create a painting. It is like like having a little insight into the views of the artists.
Living in Malta with great weather makes it easy to paint outdoors en plein air, with my favourite medium being watercolour, to try to capture the Mediterranean aura. From seascapes, landscapes, trees and urban scenes, the medium allows for speed and layering which are both a match to my fast painting tempo.
In the studio I use a variety of mediums including acrylics, inks, watercolour, charcoal,and pigments.
