Artist

Born on April 15, 1966, Noel Attard (aka nattardo), inspired from his father who at that time practiced art, was brought up in an artistic ambience he yearned to live up to. After attending various art schools and studied under the supervision of diverse renowned Maltese artists, Noel later sought to compliment his practical side with theoretical academic studies where he graduated in History of Art in 2006 and a Masters Degree in Fine Arts in 2016 both at the University of Malta. Noel chooses to be ascetic in his art and conveys only what is important to grasp the onlooker s attention.

Art

 The past couple of years, were definitely inspired by his Masters Degree studies, Noel has delved deeper into the art of iron sculpture and progressed his artworks to public art and installations, his most important metal work to date: ‘It-Tarag’, which was located at the Valletta City Gate, now in Kalkara, Malta. Noel is currently working on a dual sculpture for the new project at the Millennium Chapel, Paceville, Malta, a project by Prof. Richard England. His surroundings inspire him and transforms his ideas into creative almost fantasy illusion artworks, However, the artist is also very much inspired by what he reads – art theory, philosophy, theology, politics and science. Music is also a great inspiration.
