Rebecca Bonaci

Marsaskala, Malta

Bonaci’s paintings breathe with the textures and tones of the Maltese land, where stone and sea fold into the contours of memory. Her work carries the quiet weight of nostalgia, layering colours that represent a landscape both ancient and eternal. Shaped by moments of her own journey, each piece becomes an intimate offering. An emotion, a fragment of experience that expands outward into the universal. In this way, the personal dissolves into the shared, inviting empathy and connection through the act of looking. Central to her visual language are figures inspired by Malta’s prehistoric heritage. For Bonaci, these forms do not represent goddesses but rather Ancestors, people of the past who become vessels bridging past and present, creating a sense of stillness suspended in time.
