mAltA • mAltA Teresa Sciberras Little White Lies 05 is an intriguing contemporary work by Teresa Sciberras (b. 1979). Born in nigeria, Teresa grew up in Scotland and Malta. She studied Visual arts at the Santa Reparata International School of art in Florence and continued her studies at Gray’s School of art in aberdeen. This very small wooden panel combines traditional painting methods with unreal details which definitely show the contemporaneity of the piece. This curious combination intrigues the viewer into asking questions to uncover dilemmas set by the artist herself. The work looks like a three-dimensional piece of furniture on first impression. a closer look at the space depicted reveals something beyond reality. This interesting effect is possible thanks to Sciberras’ traditional painterly technique, which reminds us of early Renaissance altarpieces, albeit using a very raw and unprimed support. Besides, the minute details depicted make the viewer look closer to better understand what the depicted object represents. The object per se is elusive; it can be a detail of something else or pieces of objects put together. What really matters is the process from the instant the artist started creating this piece to the now factor, that is when the viewer becomes part of the art work by interacting while posing all these questions. 44 Little Lies White 05 huwa xogħol kontemporanju intriganti mill-artista Teresa Sciberras (b. 1979). Imwielda fin-niġerja, Teresa kibret fl-Iskozja u Malta. Hi studjat arti Viżiva f’Santa Reparata, Skola Internazzjonali tal-arti f’Firenze, u kompliet l-istudji tagħha fi Gray’s School of art, f’aberdeen. Dan ix-xoghol ċkejken fuq l-injam jgħaqqad metodi tradizzjonali ta’ pittura b’dettalji mhux reali li żgur juru l-ideat kontemporanji. Din il-kombinazzjoni kurjuża iġġiegħel lillispettatur isaqsi mistoqsijiet biex jipprova jikxef id-dilemmi stabbiliti mill-artista. Ix-xogħol rappreżentat għandu elementi tridimensjonali li jixbħu dawk ta’ biċċa għamara. Ħarsa eqreb lejn l-ispazju mpitter tiżvela xi ħaġa lil hinn mir-realtà. Dan l-effett interessanti huwa possibbli grazzi għat-teknika tradizzjonali li użat Sciberras, li tfakkarna fl-artali tar-Rinaxximent, b’kuntrast mal-materjal fuq x’hiex giet magħmula. Barra minn hekk, id-dettalji mpenġija jagħmlu lill-ispettatur iħares aktar mill-qrib biex jifhem aħjar l-oġġett irrappreżentat. L-għan huwa elużiv; jista’ jkun dettall ta’ xi ħaġa oħra jew biċċiet ta’ oġġetti li tpoġġew flimkien. Dak li verament huwa importanti huwa l-proċess; mill-mument meta l-artista bdiet toħloq din il-biċċa xogħol sa meta l-ispettatur isir parti mill-biċċa xoghol tal-arti. Dan sar permezz tal-mistoqsijiet li saru mill-ispettatur stess. www.heritagemalta.org
