BIOGRAPHY
Guzeppi Theuma was born in Paola, Malta in 1945. In 1964 he settled in the U.K., where he attended the Hertfordshire College of Arts in the City of St Albans. In 1977 he returned to Malta and studied the visual arts development in his native country.
In 1999 he joined with the Executive Committee of the Zabbar Sanctuary Museum where he is now the Secretary. His main priorities are documentation and restoration coordination.
Guzeppi is better known for constructing metal sculptures. Some of these have been exhibited in collective exhibitions in Malta and the U.K.
But he also ventured into oil paintings, watercolours, cartoons, and recently, digital art and ceramics with the well known, Zell Osborne. His digital impressions are uncomplicated. His palette of colours is at once logical, yet realistic of the subject he composes. Virtually all of his creations depict an aspect of the uncompromising world that surrounds him. His effects of colour and light reveal the artist’s sense of pursuit for the truth and this reflects in his intimate portrayal of life both still and alive.
In the 80’s, he was a leading caricaturist for several national papers. He is considered as an art historian, an author of several publications, particularly about Maltese artists and their works. His latest publication being: L-Arti fil-Knejjes Minn Mitt Pittur Malti - A short biography of 100 Maltese painters – cataloguing visually their works in Churches.
