to life
Bank of Valletta has, over the years,
collected a vast selection of works of
art by a large number of prominent and
upcoming artists.
'Ilwien' is the theme of Bank of
Valletta's 2020 calendar that pays tribute
to some of the most prominent artists
featured in this collection.
The calendar features a small selection
of thirteen artworks by Frank Portelli,
George Fenech, Anthony Calleja,
Emvin Cremona, Victor Pasmore, Alfred
Chircop, Harry Alden, Richard England,
Raymond Pitre, Pawl Carbonaro Antoine
Camilleri, and Marco Cremona. These
present a mix of colours, techniques and
topics ranging from abstract, landscapes
and the natural elements like the sun
and the sea.
These works, some of them never
displayed to the public, will accompany
the holders of the BOV calendar
throughout the year as we welcome the
next decade of the third millennium.
