Born in Mellieha, Malta in 1979, Stephen Grima always had an innate passion
for drawing; it was never a mere hobby but his means of expression. His growing need to expand
his artistic horizons, was re-enforced upon meeting artists such as, George Fenech, Steven
Grissworld, Paul Buhagar and Christopher Azzopardi at the time he started studying art at
Liceo Mikiel Anton Vassalli. As a student his work has been rewarded in various art
competitions.
Stephen Grima furthered his studies in drawing and painting at
the University of Malta Junior College (1995- 97) under the Caesar Attard and Isabelle
Borg and History of Art under Fr Gino Cauchi, He then continued tertiary education
at the University of Malta (1997-2001) following a B.Ed. course specializing in Technical
Design and Technology and eventually graduated as a teacher.
During these four years on campus he continued expanding his keen
interest in the art of painting and sculpting by constantly creating and experimenting with
new mediums and techniques. He followed various courses both in painting and history of art
offered by the Faculty of Arts under the supervision of Lino Borg and Joseph Paul
Cassar. Meanwhile Grima also worked on various architectural and restoration
projects under the stone sculptor and restorer Emmauel Cini.
Stephen Grima also ventured in computer aided drafting and computer graphics,
indispensable tools that permit him to create unique designs and materialize concepts and
ideas.

Lyceum Mriehel, Malta. He also holds art o' level classes at Art Club 2000, Mellieha.
