The GasanMamo Insurance cal- endar, much awaited by employees and clients alike, ropes in their re- cently launched #thefamiliar cam- paign, which highlights the mem- ories of different Maltese people throughout the years. "year on year we invest both in technology and in our employees to keep up to date with industry trends and look out for new ideas and less explored areas to provide that extra added value to our customers," said Mark Mamo, General Manager at GasanMamo Insurance. "This year, we decided to focus on familiarity, something deep rooted within the culture of the company and in the Maltese population. In Malta everything seems familiar, being such a tiny Island. The images on the 2016 calendar portray a sense of familiarity, similar to what we, as an insurance provider offer our cli- ents through the peace of mind that we are able to bring. "Further to the calendar, the fa- miliarity has also been brought to life through other mediums, in- cluding the TV commercial, print adverts around Malta and Gozo and on social media." The selection of images for the 2016 GasanMamo Insurance cal- endar portrays familiar surround- ings captured through the artwork of Stephanie Borg with a series of vibrant and colourful slices of Mal- tese life. Stephanie Borg, a self-taught art- ist, graphic designer and surface pattern designer returned to Malta in 2008, after a six-year stint in the Sultanate of Oman. Ever since, she has been absorbing and depict- ing Maltese daily life and culture through a series of ink drawings. Stephanie's meticulous and time- consuming technique involves ap- plying layer upon layer of colour until the desired effect, opacity and hue are achieved. Stephanie has ex- hibited both in Malta and overseas. She has a permanent display of art- works at the Valletta Waterfront. Her work can be found in private collections worldwide. The images and shots used in the calendar include the bright yellow Maltese bus, that iconic image of our Island and the familiar floor tile pattern that reminds every one of their grandmother's house or sim- ply of times gone by. The familiar and multi-coloured balcony, a true Maltese icon and the Maltese Festa, the loud and exuberant celebration of Maltese familiarity and way of life also feature in the calendar. A serene sense of #thefamiliar through GasanMamo's 2016 calendar
