Artist Statement:
My statement
My art is a means of
self-discovery. Sculptural
shapes and sculptural ideas
emerge complete from nowhere.
It’s totally personal; it is a
physical expression of how my
arrangement of emotions copes
with the world around me. It’s
entirely possible that
sculptural shapes that warm me
and give me a degree of
satisfaction are not universal
and mean nothing to anyone
else. I enjoy exploring a
variety of media, choosing the
tools that fit the subject and
match the mood to be conveyed.
My influences are as varied as
my as my use of media, ranging
from organic shapes to solid
matter. Art that expresses
something of the artist's soul
and the culture in which he
lives, while remaining
timeless in its message and
imagery, appeals to me most;
it is that which I strive for,
in my own artwork.
Here I am showing 4 of my
ceramic pieces, for me a
recent medium.

| Your Personal 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. 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.
