Darren Mercieca

is a Malta-raised, self-taught artist working primarily with textured abstract art. His creative journey began at a young age through watercolour, ink, and pencil line work, where he developed a strong sense of movement and form.

In recent years, Darren has embraced abstraction as a means of deeper exploration, combining layered textures and mixed media to create works that invite reflection and interpretation. His inspiration is drawn from nature, space, and the passage of time, as well as the rhythms and atmosphere of Mediterranean living. Each piece seeks to capture both stillness and energy, an emotional response rather than a fixed narrative.
