maltatoday | SUNDAY • 8 JANUARY 2023 4 ALMANAC My essentials RYAN GALEA 31, Actor, art teacher I am a 31-year-old artist and I live in Qormi together with my wife Maria and our little dog Chloe. I have been into art and theatre since I can remember. I have a particular passion for education and sharing my knowledge to others and I also love to collaborate with artists and institutions to create artistic projects which will benefit the community. 1 4 5 1. Book 2. TV 3. Internet 4. Music 5. Place I spend most of my time on the internet following come- dians, chiefly Gabriel Ingle- sias. I love his style of stand- up and after a busy day I make sure to find some time for a good laugh. I really like Queen not only be- cause of their songs, but also for what they did to the music industry and the way they kept their audiences in mind when producing new music. They weren't afraid to take risks for the sake of their art. Further- more I also enjoy Coldplay, as personally it gives me a very positive vibe. I have lived all my life in Qormi, so I am a bit biased here. But I really like my hometown because despite be- ing in a very busy central area of our country, it still offers some spaces where I can have a break. There are two pictur- esque valleys which stretch for a couple of kilometres and they offer me the ideal space to exercise or relax with my family. I finally had the time to read 'Hegarty on Creativity: There Are No Rules'. It was real- ly interesting to see how this advertising creative comes up with ideas. I actually bought the book online as one of the artists I follow suggested it as a good read and it was worth reading. RATHER than a film I have to go with 'How To Get Away With Murder', a brilliantly scripted series which I had to watch more than once to ap- preciate the impeccable talent of the cast. The storyline is breathtaking and each episode ends up with a cliffhanger which makes you start the next episode... even at 4am. 3 2
