Anton Abela

Anton (ton-ton) Abela’s Art tends to delve into the realms of the real, imagined, unconventional, and the unknown. Inspiration comes mostly from the human form, nature, dreams, horror, literature, and his personal experiences. The artworks range from different media and techniques using the bright and dark colours so synonymous with the Maltese islands. Influenced by handmade Maltese tiles, his artistic and creative processes are focused towards breathing a new life to discarded and salvaged items: looking to the past and nature to create something innovative. The artist describes this as “art from the other side”.
