Lecturer, 41
I'm married to Christabel and a father of two children, Jack, who will soon be
nine, and Megan, who is five. I've been working in education for the past 11
years, while also pursuing my art practice. My second solo exhibition, titled
Ġenesi, will be on at il-Kamra ta' Fuq, from 11 October to 3 November.

LISTENING to Dave Grohl's
autobiography reignited my
interest in rock bands like
Nirvana, Foo Fighters, and
Queens of the Stone Age.
FOR the past year, the road
leading to my home was
closed for repairs, and we were
rerouted through a narrow
countryside lane. This detour
led me to discover a beautiful
rural area between Żejtun and
Marsaxlokk, called Ħal Tmi-
em. It felt like stepping back
in time. The area remains un-
touched by modern, unsightly
concrete buildings and is sur-
rounded by stunning coun-
tryside. Let's hope it stays that
way.
OVER the past year, I've been
reading extensively about art
history to prepare for my lec-
tures. As a result, I haven't had
much time for books outside
of that subject. However, I've
managed to listen to several au-
diobooks while working in my
workshop or driving. My favour-
ite so far has been Dave Grohl's
autobiography.
I tend to prefer documentaries
over films. The most recent
one I watched was World War
II: From the Frontlines. The
scenes depicting the holocaust
are always difficult for me to
process - they fill me with an-
ger.
I don't follow any social me-
dia influencers or bloggers.
Lately, the websites I visit
most often are art supply
stores, world news sites, as-
tronomy pages, and sports
news.
