I am happy to announce that I have been personally invited to present my gigantic painting-installation 12 Horses — Homage to Jannis Kounellis in the upcoming Malta Biennale 2026!

​​

​

If you are able to attend either the opening or the closing it would be wonderful to celebrate together!

Opening: March 11-14

Closing: May 29

 

​

My 12 Horses will be shown entirely in its own venue, at The Stables of the Grand Master’s Palace in Valletta, one of the largest of all the Biennale’s exhibition sites.

 

​

I am launching a fundraiser to help make this dream come true and would love any support you are able to offer!

 

​

The Malta Biennale 2026, held under the theme CLEAN CLEAR CUT, is organized by Heritage Malta and takes place from March 11 to May 29 with acclaimed international curator Rosa Martínez as Artistic Director.

​

 

I am honored by Ms. Martínez for personally selecting my work for this important exhibition.

​

​​

CLEAN CLEAR CUT is hosted across 11 cultural and historical sites — many of which are designated as UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

 

​

As you can imagine, the shipping cost for twelve horse-sized horse paintings is substantial and, though the Biennale has provided me with a decent budget, I still need to raise quite a bit of money.

​

 

Whatever amount you are able to contribute, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
