Sistina's Legacy Continues

Why shop from us?
A New Direction: Thoughtful Online Service

While Sistina’s foundations are firmly rooted in tradition, our focus today is increasingly digital. With the launch of our new website, we are placing greater emphasis on providing an exceptional online experience - one that reflects the same care, expertise, and personal attention our customers have always known.

Sistina’s story began over forty years ago as a family-run art supply shop in Malta, built on a deep respect for craftsmanship, quality and the creative process. For decades, it has been a trusted destination for artists, students and art lovers; known not only for exceptional materials, but for generously shared knowledge.

Today, Sistina has evolved into a boutique online store whilst maintaining a physical presence for those artists who love to browse supplies in person. 

We are proud to be agents in Malta for some of the most respected art material brands in the world such as Schmincke®, Industria Maimeri®, Fabriano®, Hahnemühle®, M.A.B.E.F.® , Leondardesca® and others. These exclusive partnerships allow us to offer products defined by quality, reliability, and craftsmanship.

Our collection is shaped by decades of hands-on familiarity with fine art materials, alongside a commitment to evolve with the times. We continually introduce new products and lines and explore innovative materials.

If there is a particular material or product you are searching for, we will do our best to source it. 

Art is a living discipline. Our curation reflects that.
