Ritty Tacsum (b.1990) is a Malta-based experimental photographer and multimedia artist with a predisposition for multi-layered stories and narratives. Her work taps into memory and makes abundant reference to context, time and place. Architecture features prominently in her work, as do moody surreal settings often dominated by masked anamorphic or androgynous figures.
Ritty's work has already been the subject of seven solo shows. Her work has been featured in countless art and design publications and she has been exhibited in high caliber curated shows in Europe, USA and Asia.
While experimenting with a variety of mediums for her works, Ritty was inspired to create products that combine her passion for art and style. Using her artistic eye, she created Ritty Tacsum designs on apparel, accessories and home decor.
