Well-known artist Mark Mallia has died at age 59.
Born in Pieta, he was a self-taught artist known for photographs, abstract paintings and more. His work is spread from Malta, to the USA, the UK, Monaco, among others.
Mallia's artistic approach was influenced by Duchampian concepts, which transformed objects found into high art.
He held many exhibitions in Malta over the years, including "Postcards from Beyond", "Black Canvas," and "Open Closet". He also participated in collective exhibitions abroad, such as in the UK, at the Art Basel Miami and also the sporting Club in Monaco.
Mallia was also involved in philanthropy, raising funds and awareness for ALS locally.
In a post on social media, his daughter Zoe, one his three children, confirmed his death.
"I'm sure a lot of you heard, as he's a popular guy, my dad, Mark Mallia, has passed away," she wrote. "Never in my life will anyone meet another man like him, and I promise to keep his legacy going on so he will never be forgotten."
She thanked people for the support and messages that have been sent. "Every message or check up meant a lot to me and my family. Big thank you to the people at Mater Dei for doing the best they could to keep him with us, and for being so kind and consistent."
