This is a press release posted in addition to our usual editorial content.

Popular iGaming content provider BGaming has unveiled its final art and gaming mash-up of 2024 as part of its ongoing creative project ‘When Art Meets Gaming’.

Half-Maltese artist Tim Marsh is well known for his architectural style, composing works using dynamic geometric forms, patterns and lines to embed a sense of movement. His influences include his capoeira practice, which he has enjoyed since being a teenager. The Brazilian martial art influences the tribal elements of his graffiti work.

His career began in the fashion industry in 2006, where he created designs for clothing brands and directed the fashion pages of French magazine Snatch. He has previously worked with the likes of L’Oreal, Kenzo and Smart cars. Since 2009, the artist has been involved in light painting and held shows in Malta and France.

Ahead of BGaming’s attendance at SiGMA Malta, the muralist has produced artistic interpretations of BGaming’s top games characters from titles such as Wild Tiger, Book of Cats MEGAWAYS™, Elvis Frog TRUEWAYS, Aztec Magic Bonanza, and Gold Rush – Johnny Cash.

This marks the studio’s fourth and final ‘When Art Meets Gaming’ collaboration of the year, after they teamed up with creators Gonçalo MAR, Mr Cenz and Clandestinos Art throughout their jam-packed 2024 event calendar.

Kate Puteiko, CMO at BGaming, said: “We are proud to collaborate on our eighth artistic partnership with the hugely talented Tim Marsh, a highly respected muralist who has breathed new life into our iconic characters once more.

“Supporting artists in the cities we visit remains one of the greatest passions at BGaming and we look forward to continuing our dedication to giving back next year.”

Artist Tim Marsh said: “I found this work quite unexpected as I am used to working on murals and live paintings. This was a different exercise from what I’m used to but to be working from a computer and not fighting the elements was enjoyable. Only a few days before, I had been struggling to finish a wall in the Parisian rain.

“I am used to taking inspiration from hand painting artwork in real life, so this presented a welcome and unique challenge for me.”

BGaming, a leading game development studio, has recently concluded a successful year of art collaborations in Malta. The company, known for its innovative approach to game design and development, partnered with local artists to create unique and visually stunning games that have captivated players around the world.

Throughout the year, BGaming worked with a diverse group of artists from Malta to bring their creative visions to life in the form of exciting new games. From traditional Maltese motifs to modern abstract designs, each collaboration showcased the rich cultural heritage and artistic talent of the island nation.

One of the standout collaborations of the year was with renowned Maltese artist, Sarah Maria Scicluna. Her intricate and colorful paintings served as the inspiration for a series of slot games that combined stunning visuals with engaging gameplay. Players were transported to a world of vibrant colors and intricate patterns, making for a truly immersive gaming experience.

Another highlight of the year was a collaboration with up-and-coming Maltese street artist, John Borg. His bold and dynamic style brought a fresh and edgy look to a series of arcade games that pushed the boundaries of traditional game design. The result was a collection of games that were not only visually striking but also incredibly fun to play.

In addition to working with local artists, BGaming also partnered with cultural institutions in Malta to promote art and creativity in the gaming industry. Through workshops, exhibitions, and other events, the company helped to foster a greater appreciation for the intersection of art and technology.

As the year comes to a close, BGaming looks back on its collaborations in Malta with pride and gratitude. The company is committed to continuing its support for local artists and fostering creativity in the gaming industry. With each new collaboration, BGaming aims to push the boundaries of game design and create experiences that are truly unique and memorable.
