About artists and crafters in Malta
Local artists and crafters take on work made to order: a painting of your house or a favourite view, a portrait from a photo, hand-painted shoes, personalised cards, tattoo designs or a framed illustration of a special moment. Some also sell finished pieces and teach classes. Each maker has a distinct style, so browse their work before you ask.
Commissions suit gifts, weddings, new homes and anyone who wants something nobody else has. Tell the artist the size, colours, where it will hang or be used, and a realistic deadline. Handmade work takes time, and the run-up to Christmas and the wedding season gets busy, so ask early.
Price depends on size, medium, detail and how much the artist has to design from scratch. An oil painting takes longer than a digital illustration. Framing, delivery and changes after the sketch stage add to it. Artists often want a deposit before starting, so agree on the sketch stage and what happens if you want changes.

Questions
How much does a commissioned painting cost in Malta?
It depends on size, medium and detail. A small sketch is a very different job from a large oil painting with several figures. Send the artist a photo or idea, the size you want and your deadline, and ask for a quote that includes framing and delivery if you need them. Agree on a sketch or proof stage before the final work begins.
Where can I find a tattoo artist in Malta?
Some tattoo artists list here alongside painters and illustrators. Look through their portfolio for the style you want, such as fine line, blackwork or traditional, and book a consultation first. Visit the studio, check it looks clean, ask how they handle aftercare, and do not choose on price alone. A good artist will tell you if an idea will not age well.
Can I commission an artist if I live in Gozo?
Yes. Many commissions are worked from photos and agreed by message, so the artist does not need to be near you. If you want them to see a space, such as a wall for a mural, ask if they travel to Gozo and whether that changes the price. Getting a large framed piece across on the ferry also needs planning.
