Meet Stephanie Borg

Stephanie Borg is a leading artist and surface pattern designer based in Malta. Her inspiration comes from the love for her home island, Malta – the nation of colour vibes and patterns seen all around the island from wrought iron to tile patterns, charming doors to iconic Luzzu boats and the all the vivid cultural activities.

Her passion for heritage preservation was the key trigger in setting fashionable trends for tile patterns, door and wrought iron designs. Today, after a journey of 11 years of hard her work, Stephanie brought back the focus on the beauty of Malta’s heritage through her art and products. This has resulted into a trend that has caught the eye of young artists and designers who are now inspired by her efforts and work and following the lead on the trend!

“My own state of being always ——–plays an important role in my choice of colour, medium and form. This awareness helps me keep redefining myself ~ casting off the old me in search of the new. That is why I don’t like labelling my work, I find that limiting. Experiences, influences and thinking affect the working process of an artist, and these can bring unpredictable and exciting changes.”

Stephanie Borg® has so far created over 400 products which are enjoyed in beautiful homes and offices around the world. Available from her charming Studio Boutique in Rabat and from her online shop with worldwide delivery.

Bio

  • Stephanie Borg is a self-taught artist, graphic and surface pattern designer. Her professional practice as a graphic designer for over 25 years, both in her native Malta and overseas, has enabled her natural sensitivity to and professional handling of colour and line to mature artistically.
  • Although Malta has been Stephanie’s home for most of her life, she also lived in The Bahamas, Florida (USA), Italy and the Sultanate of Oman. Her living experiences in these countries, particularly those with such diverse cultural backgrounds as found in Italy and the Sultanate of Oman, have directly influenced her work and have enriched her love for colour, pattern and texture.
  • Oman has been particularly inspiring for the artist, where she lived for about 6 years. Her popular detailed depictions of the Omani people in their traditional attire encouraged the artist to create her first collection of Art Cards, Wrapping Paper and Prints featuring her ink drawings.
  • Stephanie returned to Malta in 2008. Ever since, she has been observing, absorbing and depicting Maltese daily life and culture, culminating in her second solo exhibition in 2012. Her meticulously-drawn ink drawings of Maltese traditional doors were also first exhibited then. She continued to expand on these themes whilst also focusing on her lifelong fascination of old Maltese patterned tiles, which she draws both in her drawings and digitally, forming the Tile Pop Collection and the renowned Tile Collage Collection.
  • She has combined her keen understanding of colour and linear form to develop a series of pattern designs. She blends her graphic design experience with her love for paper to create the design of various fine paper products, as well as creating her own branding and packaging concepts.
  • Stephanie has exhibited both in Malta and abroad. She has a permanent display of works at the Magazino Hall at the Valletta Waterfront. Her work can be found in private collections in various countries and homes around the world.
