Angele Galea is perhaps better known for her work on TV and stage as a presenter and actor. Others might also know her as a classical pianist, but Angele also enjoys dabbling in paint every now and then. Angele improved her technique and style under the tuition of Joseph Paul Cassar, Jessica Debattista, Isabelle Borg and Frans Galea and she has taken part in various programmes from painting for charity with Kerygma in 1991, to painting murals for government schools and public places.

In 1998, Angele did the ink drawings for the inaugural exhibition Art in Malta Today, the workbook for children. In 2002/03 she did comic strips for Tune In Magazine for Bay Radio and the official Bay Radio Calendar of 2003 turning each DJ into a cartoon character.

Angele Galea took part in various collective exhibitions such as Ecological Feelings (2000, Royal British Legion), Member Artists Exhibition (2002, National Museum of Fine Arts), Core Green (2008, Melita Gardens), Colours for Children (2008, Chamber of Commerce), Education and Culture (2008, European Union Programmes Agency) and this September her first solo exhibition Pin Ups, Playing Cards and Magazines (Ta’ Stringi). Her latest endevour was the shadow puppetry for the Manoel Theatre Pantomime 2008/09, with her own music composition creating the atmosphere as the velvety tones of Manuel Cauchi recounted the story of Jack and the Beanstalk.

Her style is quite varied and incorporates varied media and techniques. She inspires herself from the people she meets, the magazines and TV programs she comes across and, when all else fails, she resorts to our breathtaking landscape with its sparkling beauty especially at nighttime.
