| Your Personal Biography |
Christopher Saliba (b.1975) holds a degree in Art at the University of Malta. In 1997, at the age of 22, the Italian Government granted him a four-year scholarship at the Accademia di Belle Arti "Pietro Vannucci" in Perugia. Between 1999 and 2001, Saliba participated in important artistic projects organised by the Accademia. During this period, he took part in collective exhibitions and produced various installations and video art.
Painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, installations and video art are still valid means which enable Christopher Saliba to express his thoughts and emotions. His approach to art is quite versatile and painting is just one medium in his repertoire of artistic creations. Through his work, Saliba tries to reveal the complex nature of the human being as well as the primordial link between mankind and the natural environment. Being a native of Gozo – a very small island situated at the centre of the Mediterranean Sea - explains his interest in expressing symbolically the spatial and physical limitations that people living in confined spaces have to endure. Surpassing boundaries and looking beyond the horizon are common themes recurrent in his works.
Christopher Saliba exhibited several times in different countries like Italy, England, France and Malta and his works are found in numerous art collections in Europe, Japan, Canada and the United States. His works are found as well in the permanent collections of important art institutions, namely The Accademia di Belle Arti, “Pietro Vannucci”, in Perugia, The St. James Cavalier Centre for Creativity and the Museum of Fine Arts in Valletta, Malta.
