"Riccardo Matlakas has completed a stunning 7-square-meter ceramic tile mosaic, now a treasured piece of public art for the community of Gozo, Malta. Funded by the European Union and the Goethe-Institut, this project has been a remarkable journey. Having witnessed Matlakas' creative process firsthand until its completion, I, along with the entire team and the local community, am truly mesmerized by the outcome. His artistry has brought something extraordinary to this space, and we couldn't be happier. We hope to have the opportunity to commission him again in the future!

Riccardo was absolutely amazing! His keen design eye and creativity were a perfect match for our project, and the final result definitely had the desired effect! We couldn't fault his work—truly five stars. He was incredibly agile with design changes, flexible with timing, and worked in a super clean and tidy manner. Highly recommend him for any art commissions!

Riccardo was an absolute pleasure to work with. We were creating a hero video for a big brand campaign and he was so friendly, adaptable and collaborative on the shoot. Everyone was so impressed with his art and also his generosity; he helped guide our host through the painting process and allowed them to add their own colour and artistic flare to his mural. He had great on-screen energy and built a great rapport with the host as they worked together. We're in post production on the video now and I can't wait to share it.

Riccardo is a real artist. Meeting him revealed how true artists approach work. I found riccardo on instagram and invited him to Cape Town in South Africa to create a large scale mosaic which took 20 days. All my family is very happy about his work which made a huge difference in our villa! What a wonderful artist! Thank you Matlakas!

We had the pleasure to get to know and work with Riccardo. We loved to watch him take an idea and grow it into an incredible show. He is very communicative, organised, inspiring and talented. The message was on point, even more than we could have imagined it to be. We will be working in more projects with him in the near future, and we can't wait!

Riccardo is a wonderful artist to work with. Incredibly professional and invested in the creative process. Worked hard to get everything right for the space, creative brief and his style all at the same time. Very friendly and easy to work with. Worked fast and easily met our deadline. Thank you so much!!

About
My name is Riccardo, I have many years of experience in the creation of mural, paintings and mosaic work. All my work is very distinctive and personal and everytime I work on a wall it becomes art, evaluating the context it is in. It's very important for me in fact that my work chromatically and conceptually fits the neighbourhood. As a multi-disciplinary artist i am able to shift from mural to mosaic according to the need of the client.

I paint my designs that have been created after working with the clients

Pick me for these projects! :-

I am a multidisciplinary artist, anything that involves design and murals indoors and outdoor is welcome. I am also a mosaic artist and a mosaic project would be exciting!

I'll sit these ones out :-

Copies...I create only original work,   I do not like to copy works that already exist.
