Emvin Cremona (1919–1987) was a Maltese artist and stamp designer. He is regarded as one of the best Maltese artists of the 20th century, well known especially for many church paintings. He was born in Valletta and from a young age showed that he had great artistic talent, however as nobody in his family was artistically inclined he was not encouraged to take up art seriously.He studied art at the Malta School of Arts under the direction of Edward Caruana Dingli and Karmenu Mangion. He also studied at the School of Nude under the direction of Josef Kalleja.

Cremona, except that he was an respected painter, also left a mark within the section of the chart as well as in the field of philately. Suffice it to say that between 1957 and 1979 emanated from his study no less than 62 sets of stamps

Blessed Mother at St Gregory's, Sliema
Perhaps the greatest merit of Cremona was wise managed to find a compromise between the academic tradition and the modern idiom free.

Emvin Cremona worked well as cardboard mosaic of Sanctuary of Our Lady of Ta 'Pinu.
Annunciation
The Immaculate Conception
The Betrothal of the VirginHe produced twenty paintings in all for Ta’ Pinu Sanctuary: sixteen for the clerestory area in the transepts and in the choir, and eventually the four altarpieces in the aisles and transept chapels
The Search for Christ and the Finding of Christ in the Temple
It came to be known that the works, completed by Cremona between 1954 and 1962, were hung in the sanctuary until they were dispatched to Italy for mosaics to be produced. On their return, the paintings were stored in a closet in the church and eventually lay forgotten.Some of them suffered great damage following prolonged dampness and poor storage conditions.
The Finding of Christ in the Temple
The Holy Family
The Virgin meeting Christ on the Way to Calvary
The project for the restoration of the 20 paintings commenced in October 2005 and has been supported throughout by the Bank of Valletta, under the Heritage Pillar of its Community Programme, through a total sponsorship of €23,000. The newly restored collection of paintings opened in 2008
