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.
