ARTIST PROFILE
Alfie Gatt is a Maltese artist whose passion for art began in early childhood. He honed his skills and earned a degree from the Institute of Art & Design in Malta in 2005. Alongside traditional painting, Alfie delves into digital art, exploring illustrations, video editing, and 2D animation to expand his creative expression. Since 2022, he has been working as a freelance artist, showcasing his talent internationally through exhibitions in London galleries and winning accolades in prestigious art competitions.
In his paintings, Alfie seeks to capture the intimacy of solitude and silence, crafting dreamlike scenes that invite viewers into a tranquil, meditative escape. His work weaves storytelling into each piece, aiming to evoke emotion and reflection. Alfie enjoys sharing his artistic process with his audience, often offering behind-the-scenes glimpses through social media.
Alfie’s unique style blends figurative elements with surrealism, resulting in visually striking and contemporary works. He describes his art as a harmonious fusion of graphical precision and fine art aesthetics. This distinctive effect is achieved through a variety of mediums, including watercolour, ink, coloured pencils, wax pastels, and oils. His creativity extends beyond traditional surfaces like paper and canvas, experimenting with glass, wood, and even card decks. Alfie approaches each material with respect, integrating its inherent qualities to enhance and complement the final artwork.
