The Art of Letting Go
Il-Kamra ta' Fuq, Mqabba
Exhibition
Exhibition

This intimate exhibition presents a selection of paintings by Karen Caruana, created over the past five years, reflecting a deeply personal chapter in the artist's life. Through the raw emotions of a broken heart and the quiet acceptance of lost dreams, the artist experienced a catharsis, using painting as a tool to let it all out - to feel, heal, and grow. The beauty that can emerge from the darkness was a thriving force behind this creative process. 

A recurring motif in some of the works is sunflowers, which serve as powerful triggers for personal memories - moments of joy in times of desperation. These flowers symbolize the delicate beauty and impermanence of life, embodying the bittersweet art of losing and the peace found in letting go.

Opening Hours:
Mondays to Saturdays: 06:00 - 12:00pm
Sundays: 07:00 - 12:00pm
More evening hours to be announced weekly.
