In this post, we feature new paintings by Steve Sciberras, Vania Goshe, Natasha Dadush, Rosette Bonello and Jo Dounis.

If you’re not sure which artwork to choose, there is always the option of gift cards.
Allura offers gift cards in two different styles; one for Christmas and one for other special occasions.
For more information or to purchase a gift card, view our gift card page. When the recipient of your gift card is ready to use it, they can simply visit www.allura-art.com and choose their favourite artwork.
In the vibrant oil painting Bajtra III, artist Steve Sciberras depicts the delicate flowers and distinctive green forms of the Maltese prickly pear, against a vivid blue sky. The image reflects the artist’s deep admiration for the natural beauty of his country and this familiar Mediterranean icon.
St. Paul’s Cathedral by Vania Goshe conveys the majestic grandeur of Mdina’s crown jewel, set in the heart of Malta’s Silent City. The artwork captures the sunlit Baroque splendour of the cathedral’s ornate facade and the intricate details of its limestone architecture.
Skilful brushwork and rich tones highlight the play of light and shadow, creating a sense of serenity and spiritual presence. The artwork invites viewers to admire the elegance and historic significance of this enduring symbol of Malta’s faith and artistry.
La Notte delle Stelle, or Night of the Stars, is an evocative portrayal of illumination amidst darkness, a breakthrough captured in abstract form by Informalist artist Rosette Bonello. The radiance of the stars piercing through the night sky symbolises discovery, hope and triumph over adversity, inviting viewers to contemplate the transformative power of light in the darkest of times.
Il-Belt by Natasha Dadush captures the tranquil beauty of Malta's coastline, viewed from a Sliema jetty. A sailboat drifts gently on the vibrant blue sea, while the lively brushstrokes and bold colours bring the scene to life. The sunlight glimmers on the water, drawing the viewer's eye to its rich blues and the faint silhouette of the Valletta skyline in the distance.
Journey by Jo Dounis, created with fluid art techniques, is dominated by rich purple tones, swirling patterns and delicate bubble-like forms floating upward. The bubbles symbolise life's journey into the unknown, reflecting the choices and uncertainties which shape our paths. The dynamic composition evokes both mystery and introspection, inviting viewers to embrace the beauty of transformation.
And finally, Allura presents Christmas cards featuring original watercolour artwork by Laura Swale, printed on high-quality watercolour paper. The inside of each card simply reads "Merry Christmas," leaving plenty of space for you to add your own personal message.
Packs of five cards with envelopes included are available in the Allura online shop.
