Behind Closed Eyes by Ambs Art in Madrid
Behind Closed Eyes
This painting illustrates a self-portrait that formed part of a series of works for my first solo exhibition which took place in Malta in 2022 entitled - "Behind Closed Eyes." This series of works was based on the notion that the eyes are the key to the soul, however, if one blurs those eyes can one see through someone's soul? Completed with oils on canvas, the colors chosen were powerful and bold and a palette knife was used to create thick textures and interesting brushstrokes.

Meet the Artist
Madrid, SpainI am a Maltese artist based in Madrid where currently I am enriching my skills in painting in an academy here in Spain. Art has always been my passion and as I grew older I realized that charcoal and oil paint were the two fundamental mediums that allowed me to express my emotions and convey my message. My main interest lies within subjects such as female nude and portraiture however, I am always seeking to explore new themes to learn, grow and reach my audience better. These past five years I have discovered that I enjoy painting on large, white walls as I have been commissioned to do a couple of colorful murals for schools, restaurants, and private households. I have come to realize that such murals provide me with a challenge and a force to take my artistic skills a step further and in so doing, I use bright colorful acrylic paint and fun subjects to depict. If you're looking for someone whose willing to accept a challenge and is easy and fun to work with I can be your right candidate!
