Solera

By Flixkun

In this artwork, we step back in time, imagining ourselves as designers commissioned  to create a promotional poster for Solera, once bottled by a local company in Ħamrun.

Inspired by the parrot depicted on the bottle, the design places the Solera bottle against the lush backdrop of San Anton Gardens, infusing the scene with Mediterranean charm. The colour palette evokes the tranquil beauty of the garden, where a peacock and duck wander gracefully by the fountain, surrounded by flourishing shrubs and trees. This imagery invites the audience to savour the refreshing citrusy taste of Solera, transporting them to a serene escape.

“Lost Bottles” celebrates the timeless charm of vintage silk-screen printed bottles, bringing their beauty back into the spotlight. Each print carefully captures the bottle’s iconic shape and label design, preserving its authentic form. The advertising concept is reimagined as if we were tasked with designing promotional posters for these brands at the height of their popularity. This series honours the allure of forgotten Maltese products, evoking nostalgia through artwork that both preserves their legacy and offers a fresh, contemporary reinterpretation.
