Louise Galizia Exhibition
Louise is a filmmaker and fine artist based in London, UK, where she is currently developing
various short and feature films while working on her art. Over the past ten years Louise has
explored the disciplines of film and fine art, using one to inform and inspire the other, giving her
work a unique voice:
“It’s not just about coverage, or conveying what you see in front of you – it’s about uncovering
what’s below the surface – the emotion, tone and meaning of a moment. I want people to have a
response to the story or painting: to feel the temperature of the night air as they walk through a
landscape; to question what a person is feeling as they sit …; to feel the sadness, love or joy that
those characters are experiencing as we watch their story unfold.”
Louise has been drawing and painting from a very young age, but it was only after meeting and
learning under classically trained artist Jason Lu did she really understand the disciplines and
technique of fine art. After studying under his guidance in Malta she moved to London where she
dedicated most of her time to her filmmaking.
While in between directing projects she went back to her paintings, enjoying the simplicity and
intimacy of it as a means of expression. She signed up to lessons at London fine art in Battersea
where she developed her skills in Portraiture, landscape and still life, focusing on Alla Prima
technique and building a solid understanding of oil painting. She has spent the past year studying
portraiture under Alex Tsavaris at the Dulwich Art Group and she continues to develop her
technique and skills while completing commissions and taking part in various exhibitions in
London, selling her work both locally and abroad.
