Alfred Camilleri was born in Valletta in 1950. After receiving his formal education at the Lyceum, he proceeded to further his technical education through an apprenticeship at Malta Drydocks in the late 60s, at the Government Technical Institute and at Malta Polytechnic. His deep interest in the Humanities also led him to read for a B.A. at the University of Malta in the 90s. He studied painting briefly under Esprit Barthet (1919-1999) at the Government School of Art. Camilleri had a 40-year teaching career in various state schools which include the Art and Design Centre, Valletta, and MCAST Institute of Art and Design, now the Institute for the Creative Arts, since its inception in 2000 until his retirement in 2011. Camilleri has been involved in a range of art and design projects both profane and religious comprising the 2D and 3D aspects of art. He has exhibited regularly in numerous collective exhibitions and held nine solo exhibitions. A number of his works are part of Malta’s State Collection at MUŻA.
