Emerging Maltese artist Lara Vella is set to debut her solo exhibition, "Seek Sanctuary," on March 20th at the fabric exhibition space. The collection features a series of paintings inspired by the Mediterranean landscape, focusing on the textures, light, and rhythms of the natural world. Vella, a graduate of the University of Malta and a Master’s recipient from Florence, uses her work to encourage viewers to disconnect from a hyper-connected lifestyle and find restoration in reflective moments.
The exhibition highlights a growing cultural intersection between fine art, sustainable design, and wellness. By pairing Vella’s nature-driven canvases with eco-conscious interior elements, the show explores how intentional environments can foster mental clarity and balance. It marks a significant moment for the artist as she translates her formal training in Italy and Malta into a cohesive thematic exploration of sanctuary and craftsmanship.
