ROBERT GALEA (b.1986)

Robert Galea B.A. (Hons.) (b. 1986) is a graduate in History of Art and an artist. He is currently reading for an MA in History of Art at the University of Malta. He has published papers about Medieval architectural elements such as the muxrabija-window and the roundel carvings and is currently extending this area of research. On the other hand, his MA research will focus on the nude in Maltese art between the years 1900 and 1950.

Robert has studied drawing privately under the tutorship of Anton Calleja and at the University of Malta as part of the Fine Arts section of the History of Art Department under the tutelage of Prof. Joseph Paul Cassar and Dr. Giuseppe Schembri. Robert has exhibited in both collective and solo exhibitions. His solo exhibitions include Bingemma (November 2008) and Xanthon: where the earth is coloured golden brown (June 2009).

Among his sacred art works are the St. Francis in Glory (2007), on display at the Oratory of the Conventual Franciscans in Rabat, Malta, St. George Preca (2008), at the Qawra Parish Convent and his St. Chiara of Montefalco (2010), on display at St. Mark’s church in Rabat, Malta.
