A conversation about ‘Fallen Angels’
Joseph Agius discusses with Etienne Farrell the artwork which sold for €35,000 at the recent SiGMA charity auction
A painting by Maltese artist Etienne Farrell was sold for €35,000 at the SiGMA charity auction during SiGMA Euro-Med, the gaming and tech showcase that was held from September 1 to 3 at the Mediterranean Maritime Hub in Malta. Forming part of a series of three works, the piece relates to fellow artist, the late Mark Mallia.
According to Farrell, the series is also underpinned by a passage from the Book of Revelation, wherein Archangel Michael battles against the rebel angels. The work explores themes drawn from religion, myth, literature and philosophy. It’s layered and multifaceted, both personal and universal.
