ABOUT THE ARTIST

Mariam De Giorgio

Mariam De Giorgio is a Maltese artist specialising in acrylic painting and illustration. She also enjoys experimenting with ink, watercolours and mixed media. Mariam’s paintings have a distinctive personal style that allows viewers to enter a whimsical world. This is also due to the choice of palette, even when depicting real places and figures.

She is a Bachelor of Fine Arts graduate (2012) from the MCAST institute of Art and Design, Malta, and is a member of the Malta Community of Illustrators. Mariam’s work was selected for exhibitions in Malta and overseas by the National Book Council and the Maltese Embassy in Spain.

Her paintings are enjoyed in private collections in Malta, Netherlands, Italy, Egypt, Lithuania, Ireland and UK, Mexico, Norway, Spain, Philippines and Guam (USA).
