Julian 'Julinu' Mallia is a multidisciplinary visual artist specialising in concept-driven work. Originally a psychology graduate he now creates thought-provoking imagery within traditional fine-art and digital illustration contexts. Julian’s most representative visual work is typically idea-driven, characterised by atmospheric and surreal imagery and occasionally laced with dry humour. He juggles his practice between visual art and drumming – hinting at his unconventional approach to creative expression.
Julian’s visual art work has been recognised in various international platforms and has been exhibited in Malta, UK, Belgium, USA and South Korea. Notable recognition: AOI World Illustration Awards 2016 awardee | “Artist of the Year” at the Malta Arts Awards 2020 (Il-Premju ghall-Arti) | featured in the book “The Power & Influence of Illustration” (published by Bloomsbury, 2019).
