Victor Agius b.1982 has shown an instinctive inclination to art since in his early childhood probably due to his being nurtured in an artistic atmosphere. The artist began his formal art tuition at the age of six under the late Mons. M. Apap and Anthony Caruana and was later instructed by Mr. Harry Alden for eleven years. Agius furthered his art studies in the B.Educ (Hons.) course in the University of Malta from which he successfully graduated as an art teacher in November 2004.
Today Agius is a full time art teacher by profession. He also followed a ceramics course at the MCAST under the tuition of Mr George Muscat and was engaged in figure drawing under the instruction of Mr Anton Calleja. After completing his studies, Agius became quite active and prolific in his artistic expression. Apart from setting up personal exhibitions and taking part in collective exhibitions locally, Agius has also been manifesting his art internationally and in fact, Agius has already a number of works exhibited in prestigious permanent museums Rome, Marseille and Pennsylvania. The artist has in 2003-2004 participated in art projects in Bergamo, Berlin and Naples.
