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.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HTxUzNaGgDc\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/524azoYsEE4\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/ofuWZ1tZWfg\" width=\"1000\" height=\"600\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n    <div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\">\n\n\t\t\n        <ul>\n\t\t\t        <\/ul>\n    <\/div> \n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As part of its Cultural Programme, the Valletta Cultural Agency is pleased to present an exhibition displaying a selection of recent works by acclaimed figurative artist Patrick Dalli.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":25526,"parent":0,"template":"","etn_category":[],"etn_tags":[189,234,235,236,33,34],"class_list":["post-27437","etn","type-etn","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","etn_tags-culturalprogramme","etn_tags-nude","etn_tags-painting","etn_tags-thejourney","etn_tags-valletta","etn_tags-vallettaculturalagency"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.6 (Yoast SEO v27.6) -
