Welcome to the featured artist page of spray paint artist
Bryan Camilleri
Malta
My name is Bryan Camilleri, and I am 37 years old, a bit older than your average spray painter. I'm married, have one daughter aged 8, she's a dream, and I live in Gozo, a tiny island off Malta in the Mediterranean. During the day I'm a Business executive for a Telecoms company and when I'm not working I enjoy everything and anything.
I've always been involved and interested in art in some way or another, as my father done large paintings for a living for a while and also charcoal drawings. Now he has been doing statues for the past 15 years. So as I was growing up, I always used to try to replicate what he did and as they say, practice makes perfect. He gave me good advice and was always supportive. So I'm pretty good at freehand and pencil drawings, but I never had the courage to use paints of any sort. Only coloured pencils and chalk. And I never really gave it enough time to develop anyway, as I used to start and then stop and then start again, you know how it is, other things take priority when you are young.
But now here I am, I discovered spray painting art just by pure chance, on a day out with my family, about 6 months ago. Just saw a live performance in a shopping mall and I was addicted. First thing I did was some research on the Internet, and that's where I came across Brandon McConnell's work and all the other fellow artists. I stayed online for a whole week! I was totally inspired by Brandon's dedication to spray painting, and memorized by his techniques, and so I decided to go for it. My ambition is to become as good as these guys and also to do live spray painting shows.
So stocked up with all that was needed, I must admit, I like what I have produced so far, and I cannot stay away from the spray cans. I can express myself in a way that's hard to explain, and to control that uncontrollable spray can and create an image just pumps me up of adrenaline. I just wish I had more time. I'm always open to any kind of advice and I'm constantly seeking to learn new concepts and techniques. So needless to say, feel free to contact me atbryanc@melita.com.
From now on I can only improve, and I am confident that I can become very good at it because I just love doing it and I plan to keep on doing it for a while!
