Debbie Caruana Dingli conducted the first in a series of three gallery talks at BOV Centre in Santa Venera, held as part of Bank of Valletta’s 23rd Retrospective Art Exhibition, featuring 37 works of art by this prolific contemporary artist.

A group of around 30 art students and enthusiasts attended the gallery talk at BOV Centre. Ms Caruana Dingli spoke about her evolution in style and preferences while moving across the three sections that make up the exhibition.

Speaking at the end of the gallery talk, the artist enthused: “Art is great because it allows for multiple interpretations to co-exist side by side. No two people looking at a work of art will see it in the same manner. I particularly enjoyed questions posed by children, who with their ingenuity and candid honestly, often managed to interpret a painting very well.”

Bank of Valletta will be hosting another two gallery talks with Ms Caruana Dingli on July 22 and 24, between 6pm and 7pm. Anyone who would like to attend may book a place through the bank’s website. Groups are kept small, so those interested in participating are encouraged to book their place so as not to be disappointed.
