After attending various art schools and studying under various renowned Maltese and foreign artists, Noel sought to complement his practical side with theoretical academic studies. He graduated in History of Art in 2006 and consequently obtained a Master’s Degree in Fine Arts in 2016, both from the University of Malta. He strongly feels that texture and colour are the main elements through which he seeks to communicate his conceptual art, irrespective of the artwork he is executing. Noel has also ventured into sculpture, achieving distinguishable results in monumental public art and installation art. His most important metal sculpture to date: It-Taraġ, which was temporarily exhibited at the Valletta City Gate a few years ago is now located next to Bighi in Kalkara, Malta. The artist also executed a dual sculptural installation, entitled Tree of Knowledge and Tree of Life, for the new project at the Millennium Chapel, Paceville, 2018, a project by Prof. Richard England.
