Throughout these recent years, artist Christopher Saliba has built a reputation as one of the most authentic talents emerging from the sister island of Malta (E. Fiorentino, 2003).

Christopher Saliba’s diverse work -  painting and drawing, etching, sculpture, video, installation and photography – deals with evocative meditations on time as well as physical and psychological limits. Saliba’s wide-ranging oeuvre also displays a preoccupation with the dualisms that define the complex nature of human existence: spirituality and materialism, surface and depth, mortality and eternity. Saliba develops these paradoxes into experimental and conceptual works that can be figurative and abstract in form. Whatever the theme or content of his works, the intent is always to represent the essence of spiritual energy that comes from deep inside. You, as an active participant, are invited to relate with his works and interpret them accordingly..

Biography
Christopher Saliba holds degrees in Art from the University of Malta and  the Accademia di Belle Arti "Pietro Vannucci" in Perugia. During his four-year scholarship at the Accademia, Saliba participated in important artistic projects; he displayed his grand scale paintings in several collective exhibitions and produced various installations and videos. Christopher Saliba’s approach to art is quite versatile and painting is just one medium in his repertoire of artistic creations. Sculpture, printmaking, photography, installations and video are also valid means which enable  him to express his thoughts and emotions. His work 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 of people living in confined spaces.
Christopher Saliba exhibited several times in different countries like Italy, England, France and Malta. Recently, he participated in an international exhibition at the Louvre Museum in Paris. His works are found in numerous art collections in Europe, Japan, Canada and the United States as well as 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.
