THIS WEEK
ART
What is beautiful in our age, is that
you are not really bound by borders
when you are doing creative work,
I work with people and companies
from all over the world: the UK,
USA, Switzerland, Germany, Poland,
Netherlands, Belgium, Malta, the list
goes on. I like working with differ-
ent people from different countries,
especially when I would be the first
Maltese they would ever have met.
To the local creatives hoping to
make it abroad, I would say that
Malta is "abroad" if you come from
anywhere which is not Malta… you'll
more or less face the same struggles
wherever you go. Look at how you
managed to make it in Malta, and
you'll probably manage to do it in
another part of the world, or at least
Europe.
If you want to discover what the
scene is like in a different city just
hop on a plane with a one-way ticket.
If you don't like it, you can always go
back.

'Woman with a Snake' by Gabriel Buttigieg (110x150cm, acrylic on canvas, 2018)
"The creative
scene in Malta
seems to be
improving; the
younger artists
are amazing,
and the
social scene is
becoming more
international"
"Red Dead
Redemption,
which was
released
last month,
is already
considered
one of the
best games
ever made,
so I'm very
humbled to
have even
worked on
it"
Danjeli Schembri
