Donation of Guido Stilon’s oil painting

The Mikiel Anton Vassalli College – Malta School of Art is thrilled to announce the acquisition of an early oil painting by the respectable photographer Guido Stilon (1932 – 1975).

This exquisite painting was executed when Stilon was still a student of the School of Art and represents the School Art studios during his early formative stages.

The painting was generously donated by the artist Mr Eman Grima. Guido Stilon was born in Valletta and lived in St Paul’s Street and St Christopher Street.

While still a student, Guido nurtured a passion for photography which started to flourish in the mid-1950s. In 2020 ‘Magna Żmien’ produced the first exhibition of Guido Stilon’s work, Malta in Transition at the Malta Postal Museum, Valletta.
