Alex Dalli’s exhibition ‘Dell u Dawl’ (Shadow and Light) has just come to a close.
As a collection, his artworks encourage contemplation on the significance of light, both physically and symbolically, during periods of uncertainty. For Dalli, art transcends mere expression; it embodies a spiritual practice, a ritual of affirmation amidst adversity and suffering. This represents art as a sanctuary, a source of resilience, and a declaration of endurance. In his studio, Dalli reflects on the process which led up to this exhibition, his formation as a young artist and the tutors who shaped his vision and style.
