Ray Piscopo

[9] 10 years later, Piscopo represented Malta in a global project by French artist Klaus Guingand, entitled Art Warning the World.

[10] The project saw 201 artists from 200 countries come together to raise awareness on the importance of freedom in a video watched by 1.5 million people in 18 days.

The result was an exhibition entitled Values Are Being Trampled Upon, which included subjects that ranged from migration to war, and domestic violence to child labour.

[14] In recent years, Piscopo has been liberally using mixed media on canvas and has returned to the use of oil paint.

His work has been described as 'an attempt at achieving simplicity' and that it 'transforms and transcends the reproduction of nature' by art historian and Smithsonian Institution lecturer, Joseph Paul Cassar.
