Alfie Gatt

Alfie Gatt was born in 1985 on the small and sunny island of Malta. His drive and passion for his love of art started in early childhood. He pursued his studies and was successfully awarded a degree from the Institute of Art & Design, in Malta in 2005. Alongside painting, he also explores digital to expand his way of expressing himself through illustrations, video editing and 2D animations.

In his paintings, he is intended to capture the intimacy of solitude and silence. The scenes create a dreamlike atmosphere, allowing the viewer to escape into a trance of peace, delving into nature where one feels most comfortable. The blank spaces are an interpretation of a transition of the state of mind when an individual pauses to ponder nostalgically on memories when we used to care so much more about what’s happening around us and simplicity.  

Alfie’s current style is a mix of figurative and surrealism giving the artwork a unique style and visually pleasing yet contemporary. He describes his artistic work as a balance and marriage of graphical and fine art. This effect is demonstrated using various mediums such as watercolour, ink, coloured pencils, wax pastels and oils.
