biography
Carmel Theuma was born on the 27th May 1956 in Xaghra, Gozo. His passion for painting cropped from his childhood. From 1981 to 1985 he attended art courses at the Malta Society of Arts, Manufacture and Commerce in Valletta under the tuition of Josette Caruana and Angelo Agius. He also attended courses at Wistin Camilleri School of Art in Ghajnsielem.
Painting is an essential factor in his life as it gives Theuma the opportunity to express his innermost feelings onto the canvas. His love of Gozo, the isle of birth, with all its rich heritage such as pre-history, history, customs, traditions, myths and legends fascinates Theuma and provokes him immensely. Many of his works show his passion and love for Gozo.
Carmel Theuma took part in several collective exhibitions and in July 2008 launched his first solo exhibition at the Ministry for Gozo. Currently he is working to exhibit in Malta.
Carmel Theuma is married to Margaret and they have four children - Miriam, Stephen, Simone and Paul.
