Meeting George Fenech at the heart of the photogenic village of Mellieha
Posted by: Emmanuel Caruana in George Fenech| In the heart of the photogenic village of Melieha which also provides the artists with several landscapes, I met the well known Maltese artist George Fenech mostly known for his landscape paintings. |

| Born in Mellieha on the 3rd January 1926, son of Philip (1887-1953) and Carmela Sammut (1890-1967), the artist likes to recall his early years from his childhood playing in the family fields in Mellieha , close to nature and the landscapes that he treasures so much. He knows every corner of the village countryside. At a young age, George use to join his mother and help her drying the figs at “l- Irdum tal- Qammieh” which he latter depicted in his beautiful canvases. |
