Mixja f’Tas-Sliema
50 x 70 cm, Mixed media and gold leaf on cotton canvas, 2024
When creating ‘Mixja f’Tas-Sliema’, Cassar was more heavily inspired by the cool tones depicted in the original reference photo. The painting represent the beauty of that moment walking by the seaside and the serenity of the blue water as it touched the rocks. Flickers of warm gold are added to the painting to create depth and mimic the rays of sunlight glistening on the water’s surface.
