The figures, dressed in detailed period costumes and placed within intricate settings, capture moments from daily life — from market scenes to domestic activities — offering a glimpse into the customs, trades, and atmosphere of eighteenth-century Naples.

Impressions From The Sea
2025-12-08 07:30 - 14:30, 2025-12-09 07:30 - 14:30, 2025-12-10 07:30 - 14:30 | Banca Giuratale, Pjazza Indipendenza, Victoria, Gozo, Malta
“Impressions from the Sea” is a visual diary of my artistic journey—an exploration of colours, textures, and techniques that gradually led me to discover my own language of expression.
The sea has always been my greatest muse. Its endlessly shifting colours, subtle shades, dramatic lights, and rhythmic movements transform it into something almost alive—an omnipresent, vivid being. Over the past eight years living on the island of Gozo, I have breathed with the sea daily. Watching it, meditating by it, and snorkelling in its depths have deepened my connection with this powerful element.
Coming from Łódź in Poland, a city far from the coast, I saw the sea only twice as a child. Here in Gozo, surrounded by Mediterranean beauty, I found the perfect environment to dive deeper into the development of my own artistic style.
I hope you will enjoy this exhibition as much as I enjoyed creating it. Each painting represents both joy and challenge as I attempted to capture the diversity and splendour of the sea.
The second part of the exhibition focuses on human expressions—portraits that explore personality and emotion. You will even find a special tribute to my beloved ginger cat, “Cippollino”.
Enjoy the exhibition, and feel free to share your impressions.

Within the confines of the body, storms and whispers coexist. Each heartbeat echoes galaxies, and each tremor holds the weight of existence. Fragility becomes a language through which the world is felt, not seen. Here, heaven and hell are not far away. They pulse inside us, fragile and luminous, shaping every moment of our lived experience.

Between Earth, Light & Silence
2025-12-08 09:00 - 17:00, 2025-12-09 09:00 - 17:00, 2025-12-10 09:00 - 17:00 | Il-Ħaġar Gozo Museum, Triq il-Karita`, Victoria, Gozo, Malta
In this temporary exhibition, Gozitan artist Victor Agius explores the theme of the Nativity as a liminal threshold — a space where the earthly and the divine converge. Twenty years after his seminal exhibition Nativitas, Agius returns to this sacred narrative, inviting viewers to dwell in the mystery of the Incarnation, where matter meets spirit and silence receives light.
Through a poetic interplay of earth, pigment, and form, Agius reinterprets traditional iconography and transforms it into a contemporary meditation on birth, transformation, and the sacredness of being. His works evoke both fragility and transcendence, reflecting the human longing for connection with the divine.
The exhibition becomes a journey through stillness and revelation, where clay, ash, and light act as vessels of memory and hope. Agius’s art calls us to pause — to sense the quiet miracle unfolding within and around us — and to rediscover the Nativity not only as an event of the past but as an ever-present moment of becoming.

Frank Mizzi began constructing this unique Christmas crib around forty years ago, and it has remained a living work in progress ever since — an evolving testament to both artistic devotion and spiritual reflection. Over the decades, Mizzi continuously refined and expanded the scene, adding new features, figures, and details that imbue the crib with a profound sense of narrative and craftsmanship.
Until only a few years ago, the crib was lovingly displayed in an exhibition space adjoining his home in Triq tal-Għajn, just off St Augustine Square in Victoria. There, it became something of a local treasure, drawing visitors who admired its intricate detail and heartfelt expression of faith.
In a gesture of remarkable generosity and foresight, Frank Mizzi donated this exceptional work to Il-Ħaġar Museum, ensuring its preservation and accessibility for future generations. Today, the crib stands not only as a masterpiece of artisanal skill but also as a symbol of dedication, tradition, and community spirit — a celebration of the timeless story of the Nativity as seen through the eyes of one man’s lifelong passion.
