According to the artist, the work painted on Manoel Island is a very personal mural that pays tribute to Maltese culture. Fredlock99 created it in an attempt to find a symbiosis between his Colombian roots and the local culture. The mural depicts a colourful fishing boat reminiscent of the traditional Maltese luzzu, complete with the distinctive eye painted on its bow, a symbol deeply associated with Malta’s maritime heritage. Surrounded by the Mediterranean Sea, fishermen, fishing equipment and the bright Maltese sun, the scene evokes the island’s strong connection to the sea and its long-standing fishing traditions. The vibrant colours and local imagery blend with the artist’s own visual language, creating a meeting point between his Colombian heritage and Malta’s distinctive cultural identity.
