Groups and clusters of people going about their daily life continue to intrigue Celia Borg Cardona.

While their geographical location serves as an interesting backdrop, the emphasis is more on the space the people occupy and the way that this impacts on their relationship with each other.

There is an intrinsic importance given to the negative space around the figures, with the background very often being a dramatic black or a stark white.

The scene is usually seen from above, as many of them are painted from a high viewpoint. Ms Borg Cardona’s preferred medium is oil on canvas which, whenever possible, is as large as possible. These paintings reflect every day scenes in which people are captured in their most natural stance since they are totally unaware that they are being observed from above.

A visit to this eclectic exhibition is an opportunity not to be missed.

• The paintings are being exhibited during shop hours at Camilleri Paris Mode in Rabat throughout the month of November.
