Mario Agius b. 1956 has manifested a fond inclination to sculpture and design from his early
years. He began his artistic studies under the late Mons. Michelangelo Apap and furthered his
studies in wood sculpture under the famous Maltese artist Anton Agius.
The artist has a number of sculptures in private collections both locally and abroad including
in London and Switzerland. His finest wood sculptures adorn churches all around the Maltese
islands. In 1989 he followed a course of studies in Cheltenham, England at the White Knight
Gallery under the tuition of international artist Ian Norbury.
Presently Agius teaches technology and design in wood at Ninu Cremona Lyceum Complex, Victoria
Gozo. Mario has been actively taking part in various collective exhibitions including those
organised by the Members of the British Woodcarvers Association. His first personal exhibition
entitled Nature Exalted was held at the Banca Giuratale, Gozo in June 2008. In July 2009,
Mario exhibited his sculptures at the 'Marzi Art International Galerie' in Hamburg, Germany.
