Stephanie Borg invited to be artist-in-residence at Phoenicia Hotel
Local artist Stephanie Borg has been invited to be the artist-in-residence at the Phoenicia Hotel in Floriana till the end of this month.
During October, visitors can check out a series of artworks from her Malta-Inspired collection, as well as the Nwar Homeware and Tableware collection, at the Palm Court lobby area.
The exhibition was officially launched at the start of October, with a handful of guests and partners of the Stephanie Borg brand. The artist explained the inspiration behind the Nwar Blue Blossom concept, as well as the collection itself. “Nwar is the result of what has inspired me over these past 13 years since I began my Malta-inspired creative journey. It is a personal ode to the patterns and designs created by our forefathers who painstakingly executed their craft to perfection. My objective is to celebrate these crafts through contemporary design and application, thus allowing them to blossom into something new,” she said.

During the event at the Phoenicia, Stephanie Borg also launched the 2021 Nwar Limited Edition Silk Scarf. The bold yet elegant pure silk scarf is a fashionable addition to people’s wardrobes, blue and white in design and a beautiful unique interpretation of the Nwar design concept. Borg has purposely chosen psychotherapist and clinical psychologist Dorothy Scicluna as the face of Nwar for 2021/2022. While listening and helping, she is also a mother and friend. The artist’s aim is to celebrate all the unsung heroes, and she chose Scicluna to exemplify this.
The collection is limited to 200 silk scarves, each supplied with a numbered certificate by Borg. The Nwar concept is all about creating unique pieces, with a sense of heritage.
