I would like to thank the Culture Minister for helping artists in the contemporary art project at the Ospizio, in Floriana. I appeal to those artists who used to frequent the Ngħinu bl-Arti Art Club, which I founded in the 1980s, to continue contributing to the arts in Malta.
Now is the golden age of their art so they should contribute as I had done in the 1980s.
Today’s artists are luckier than I were because they are younger and have a future ahead.
Unfortunately, my days are numbered.
I repeat what I had told my tutors in Florence in the 1980s: “Malta e’ fior della cultura nel mondo” (Malta is the flower of culture in the world).
