Shanice Farrugia (b. 2000) is a Malta-based multidisciplinary artist working across drawing, painting and installation. Rooted in self-portraiture and intimate depictions of those closest to her, her practice explores memory, perception and identity through works that navigate the relationship between inner experience and outward appearance.

Farrugia holds a B.A. (Hons) in Fine Art (First Class) from MCAST Institute for the Creative Arts. She has exhibited throughout Malta and internationally, including at Mall Galleries and The Gallery at Green & Stone in London, as well as in Berlin and Gibraltar. Her drawing Landline Lullaby received the Gallery Choice and People’s Choice Award at The Gallery at Green & Stone in 2025. That year she was also nominated for the Young Creative Practitioner Award at Premju għall-Arti and named among the ARTIT Portrait Artists of the Year. In 2026, she was selected as a finalist for Visual Artist of the Year at the FreeHour Malta Awards.
