In my work collage is essential to find rhythm and structure. It is often in the accidental, the unplanned, that harmony reveals itself. . Oil pastels and colored pencils on paper . n o t e s f r o m t h e a n t h r o p o c e n e . #collage #composition #studio #gozo #marioabela

The Museum of San Marco and La Specola Museum in Florence, stayed with me long after last year’s visit. This work from the ‘Paradiso’ series, is an oil on canvas that merges those influences. . n o t e s f r o m t h e a n t h r o p o c e n e . #laspecola #museodisanmarcofirenze #painting #pittura #contemporaryartist #contemporaryart #artistoninstagram #gozo #marioabela

This year feels like the beginning of something unfolding slowly, piece by piece. The work will travel, take shape in new contexts, and open conversations I’ve been holding back. . n o t e s f r o m t h e a n t h r o p o c e n e . #painting #pittura #contemporaryartist #contemporaryart #artist #artiststudios #marioabela

My work draws on historical imagery to confront it with the turbulence of today’s politics, culture, religion, and the dissonance of the information age. Through painting, drawing, and layered media, I explore the fragile intersection of beauty and collapse, inviting the viewer into a space where past and present negotiate meaning. My work, shaped by art history, design, and teaching, seeks not to resolve but to expose the tensions and uncertainties of our time. .
