Lara Vella, a promisingm yet relativley new talent in the world of fine arts, is proud to present her fourth solo exhibition, ''Dari'', an evocative collection of painting capturing the idyllic essence of Malta. The exhibiton's title holds dual significance in Maltese, meaning both, ''my home'' and ''once upon a time'' denoted with a sense of nostalgia, perfectly encapsulating the sentiment woven into each piece.

This notion has become more eloquent for Lara while living abroad. Despite the nearness of Florence to Malta, being away from home has instilled in her a sense of belonging and nostalgia for her home country. 

Her exhibition consists of paintings that are finely and delicately executed in acrylic with a bright palette, that is very much a reflection of the colours present on these islands. However, Lara's colour is accentuated and creates a dreamlike qaulity. In fact, she claims that her choice of colours is due to her portraying her subjects through a child-like lens.

Do not miss out Lara Vella's ''Dari'', an invitation to explore Malta through the eyes of an artist deeply in love with her homeland.
