STANDING TALL AND PRETTY depicts a society living indifferently of other people's needs. It actually symbolises present day life in which the greedy side of humanity categorically refuses help to its needy counterparts.

The simple and austere figures are enhanced with decorative patterns which may easily recall primitive artistic expressions.

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.
