POLITICALLY DIVIDED hints at the local political scene, amply dominated by the Red and Blue parties which are constantly at loggerheads with each other. Obviously, as in the case of a small island like Malta; this divide sometimes becomes larger than life, almost turning into a fanatical farce. Blues breed Blues and Reds breed Reds... in pure vicious circle style!

Nevertheless; my figures are idealised and modelled from one flowing black line – signifying brotherhood!

In this work I feel that I have been heavily influenced stylistically by the illustrious Maltese artist Gabriel Caruana , of whom I am a great admirer.
