Ir-Realtà, a Maltese student newspaper that focuses on objective commentary on current affairs, was looking for an illustrator to embellish their front cover.
At the time, the General Election - an era of heated arguments and passionate confrontations - was around the corner so we thought it was fitting to reflect this in the illustration. To this end I created caricatures of the main political rivals fighting for the much-debated “Siġġu tal-Poter” (lit. The Chair of Power) with a parrot (a reference to a rebellious politician who at the time was a protagonist in the political scene) looking eagerly on.
Digital Painting.
