Visual artist Fabio Borg (b. 1974, Malta) is of Italian and Maltese descent. He started his artistic training by studying painting and drawing at a tender age, first at the Malta Society of Arts and later at the Malta School of Art, both in Valletta. Borg also lived and studied in Italy in what were his formative years. His interactions with Italian artists shaped the way he thought and developed his ideas. Further influence came from Gabriel Caruana (1929-2018) who enthusiastically supported the artist’s career. In fact, Borg’s first solo exhibition was held at The Mill in 1999 thanks to Caruana’s support. He continues to participate in several local and foreign exhibitions and held a solo exhibition in April 2022 at Galleria Vittoria on Via Margutta, the same art gallery that represents Borg in Italy. Anything can serve as an inspiration for Fabio Borg. Lately his work has evolved towards a more abstract dimension. This is combined with a minimalist appearance that is achieved through a limited use of colour and an economic use of compositional lines. In fact, his art has become more monochromatic than ever. To this effect, he has recently also become more conscious of the fact that one can effectively convey ideas through minimal use of colour and composition. The artist works from his studio in Mosta that provides the ideal environment in which he can nurture and express his thoughts.
