Taking place between the 4th of December 2021 and the 9th of January 2022 at the Gran Salon of the Museum of Archaeology in Republic Street, Valletta, The Journey showcases no fewer than 34 paintings, including a bozzetto, centered on the artist’s ongoing exploration of the human body.

Born in Malta in 1955, Dalli was primarily interested mainly in landscape, still life, and portraiture. In 1995, he started formal training under the tutorship of Anton Calleja (b.1955-) exercising mainly in the study of the human figure. It is in these very active years that Dalli concentrated his practice on the nude. In the following years, together with other fellow artists, Dalli practiced intensely in live-sessions and participated in collective exhibitions in Malta and abroad, exhibiting nudes, landscapes, and still-life paintings.
