Between Earth, Light & Silence by Victor Agius is the next temporary exhibition at Il-Hagar Museum, in Gozo.
Gozitan artist Victor Agius explores the theme of the Nativity as a liminal threshold. Twenty years after his exhibition Nativitas, he returns to this sacred theme, inviting viewers to dwell and contemplate the Mystery of the Incarnation, where matter meets spirit and silence receives light.
The museum explained that In this exhibition, Agius’s sculptures and mixed media paintings will enter into dialogue with important Nativity-themed works by masters from different epochs, such as Stefano Erardi, Anton Inglott, Emvin Cremona, Mario Caffaro Rore, Harry Alden, and Caesar Attard.
Paintings by these masters have been exceptionally loaned to Il-Hagar Museum by a number of public and private institutions for the duration of this exhibition.
The official inauguration of the exhibition will be held on Sunday, the 23rd of November 2025 at 11:45am. Everyone is invited to attend.
The exhibition then runs until the 11th of January 2026 and may be viewed during Il-Hagar Museum’s opening hours of 9am to 5pm daily (excluding Christmas Day and New Year’s Day). Admission is free.
Born in 1982 in Gozo, Malta, Victor Agius developed an early interest in sculpture through his father, Mario Agius. He graduated from the University of Malta’s Fine Art Department in 2004 and pursued further studies at the International School of Painting, Drawing and Sculpture in Perugia (2009) and Central Saint Martin’s, London (2011).
Encompassing performance, installation, sculpture, and painting, his work engages with formless, earth-derived materials to explore human existence and personal limits. Agius has exhibited widely in Malta, including at the National Museum of Fine Arts and Ggantija Temples, and internationally in venues such as Florence, Rome, and Oxford.
