The young artist Vince Caruana has just returned to the Maltese Islands with an M.A. in Visual Arts from the Libera Accademia di Belle Arti in Florence, one of the most distinguished art institutions in Europe. Deciding to fine tune his artistic skills, he left the islands to attend the Libera Accademia di Belle Arti where he was classically trained in painting, sculpture, installation, environmental art, photography, and video. Being a dedicated and a continuously striving student, Vince Caruana was awarded ''Il Migliore Allievo dell’Anno '05 – '06''.

This Master programme has provided space for the artist to participate in various exhibitions amongst which are the Loggia del Grano of the Uffizi Centre and the Quarter, both in Florence. He has also gained the experience of museology at The Peggy Guggenheim in Venice and at Il Museo Leonardesco di Vinci, in Leonardo’s hometown.

Being reared in the shadow of his uncle, the artist Anton Caruana, Vince Caruana (b. 1979) has dedicated most of his years to the arts. He studied at the School of Arts in Malta where he received tuition from various established local artists including Luciano Micallef and Anton Calleja and has further enhanced his education at Scranton College of Arts Pennsylvania, USA. Currently, Vince Caruana is an art teacher at the Gozo School of Arts.

Vince Caruana has etched out his own intriguing style. As the cycles of day and night, of the moon, and of the seasons were instrumental in the formation of the ancient psyche – the rhythms of primary culture, these same underlying rhythms, largely hidden in our everyday experience, triggers off the whims of the artist’s paintbrush. Considering his style as a 21st Neo Geometric Abstraction, this young artist has numerous awards to his credit. He has mounted three solo exhibitions and has participated in several collective exhibitions including the Malta Biennale, Madiera International Arte Bienal (Portugal), Tempra Accademy (Connecticut, USA), and the Akademie Klausenhof of Hamminken (Germany).

Having art as a source of nourishment and refreshment for his own spirit and soul, the artist invites you to enjoy his works late this year where he will be mounting his fourth solo exhibition. While preparations are underway, meet the artist by visiting his website www.vincecaruanart.com.
