Timpana | L-Ewwel Ma Tiekol L-Għajn

“Timpana” is a much-loved Maltese dish, and for RAFiott, it’s more than just food—it’s a nostalgic nod to family gatherings and shared moments. This comforting carb-on-carb delicacy, wrapped in pasta and baked to perfection, is reimagined as part of the “L-Ewwel Ma Tiekol L-Għajn” Collection, a series that celebrates traditional Maltese cuisine through an artistic lens.

The L-Ewwel Ma Tiekol L-Għajn Collection, translated as “the first thing to eat is the eye,” explores the power of visual appeal, a concept integral to Maltese culture. RAFiott’s surreal take on Maltese food icons brings a contemporary twist to the expression, transforming familiar dishes into visually arresting pieces. Each artwork in the collection blends tradition with a bold, minimalist charcoal aesthetic, capturing the essence of four iconic Maltese snacks.

With eyes as a recurring motif, the collection represents RAFiott’s cultural perspective—a modern witness to Maltese heritage. Available both as standalone pieces and geometric patterns, each design offers an evocative glimpse into Malta’s culinary roots, perfect for anyone looking to bring a slice of Maltese culture into their space.
