I adore Malta, its people, architecture, and the sun. The way of life is very laid-back and welcoming. I’m relocating to Malta in June because my boyfriend just accepted a job offer there!
One thing that got me thinking when I was there was what is there to do that doesn’t involve a lot of money, and that’s free.
Now for all of you who follow me and see my posts, I’m a massive cat lover; since I was a little girl, I have only wanted to have a cat.
At school, I would draw cat pictures and have some form of a cat on everything I wrote about, studied, or collected. It was a bit of a cat freak.
The artist who made this beautiful sculpture, Matthew Pandolfino, has created pieces in various forms, such as welding, painting, and sculpting.
He is well known across the island for how he creates his pieces; whereas some artists buy the products they use for their pieces, Pandolfino only uses items that have been thrown away or from a scrapyard.
He uses things no one wants, making him a unique artist in this modern era.
The story I’ve been told about this cat statue expresses kindness and sweetness. As the Sliema Cat Garden is full of stray cats, Pandolfino created a work of art made of lost products.
Although the artist has not confirmed this story, I find it beautiful, so I believe it! I
was wondering about in Malta in March, one day by myself when I came across Sliema cat garden just outside of Saint Julians. Here’s a little documentary of my trip around this great unique little furry love.
