Maltese abstract artist Stefan Carbonaro’s latest solo exhibition, ColourBlind, marks a significant departure from his signature use of vibrant colour. In this new body of contemporary abstract art, he embraces a restrained palette, focusing on the interplay of light, shadow, and contrast to explore the subtleties of perception. Here, form, depth, and texture take precedence over hue, inviting viewers into a more introspective visual experience.

Inspired by the concept of a limited colour pallette, ColourBlind challenges the assumption that colour is essential to artistic expression. By intentionally removing bold chromatic elements, Carbonaro invites his audience to connect more deeply with tone, movement, and visual balance—revealing the richness of minimalist abstract painting.

As one of Malta’s emerging voices in modern abstract art, Stefan’s work continues to evolve through experimentation and design-thinking. This exhibition extends beyond aesthetics to pose deeper questions about how we perceive and interpret the world around us.

What do we miss when colour is absent?
And in that absence, what new truths are revealed?

Presented at the unique Rudy Buhler Art Gallery in Marsascala, ColourBlind is a contemporary art exhibition that invites viewers to experience visual storytelling through texture, contrast, and the power of restraint. Stefan Carbonaro offers a striking journey into a world where limitation becomes a creative force, and where contrast speaks louder than colour.
