ANTHONY WEITZ

South African Artist, Born in 1953

Anthony Weitz is a painter based in Malta, working almost exclusively en plein air—painting outdoors directly from nature. This approach, rooted in the tradition of the French Impressionists, allows him to capture the vivid colors and shifting light of the landscape without the constraints of studio lighting. Originally from Cape Town, South Africa, Weitz trained in illustration and later expanded into printmaking and painting, developing a strong foundation in drawing and composition. Years of experience as an illustrator and designer inform his ability to observe and distill scenes with clarity. His work explores the immediate sensory experience of place, conveying atmosphere and color with a spontaneous, direct response to the world around him.
