With a career spanning several decades and a background in visual arts, film, and theater, Mario Attard multidisciplinary artist, has gained international recognition. While his artistic pursuits are diverse, he is primarily known for his sculptural work in ceramics and glass. Born in Valletta, Malta, he was introduced to the arts by the internationally acclaimed ceramic artist Gabriel Caruana at Targa Gap School. He went on to earn a Fine Arts degree from the esteemed Gerrit Rietveld Academy of Arts in Amsterdam and was awarded a one-year scholarship to the Rhode Island School of Design in the United States to further his studies in glass and ceramics under the guidance of another international master, Charlie Chihuly. He has also worked as a production designer and art director in film, television, and advertising across Europe. Currently residing in Spain, he splits his time between the Netherlands and Malta.
Nature, materials, and textures are constant sources of inspiration for this artist. Every time he opens the kiln, he is met with the surprise of seeing how the clay has transformed during the firing process. Mario's use of color is a defining characteristic of his ceramic work. He explains that glazing, the final step in the creation of each piece, is the climax of his artistic process. Applying colors that are invisible until the piece is fired allows him to create a unique stamp on each work. The shapes and forms he creates are determined by his choice of color and tone. In his recent work, he has been experimenting with an "acrobatic" structural concept, creating pieces that appear to be visually light and suspended despite being made of heavy clay. This has led him to develop new techniques for constructing, drying, and balancing these forms, resulting in striking and dynamic works of art.
