Biography

Micallef was born on 7 February 1969, and he grew up in the city of Żebbuġ.[1] He became familiar with the countryside and developed an interest in birds at a young age, through accompanying his father while hunting.[1] He attended school in Żebbuġ before studying graphic design at the School of Art and Craft in Tat-Tarġa, Mosta.[1]

Micallef lives in Għargħur.[2][5] He married Fiona née Hiher in 1997, and they have two daughters: Martina and Luisa.[1]

Style and career

Micallef mainly works in acrylic on canvas or board,[5][8] but he also has works in other media such as pen and ink.[1][3] His paintings are known for their attention to detail,[4] and he described himself as a "neo-realist".[5] The subjects of his paintings include birds and other flora and fauna, as well as Maltese landscapes, seascapes and architecture.[1] He was inspired by the work of the American artist John James Audubon,[5] and he is known to make extensive studies of flora and fauna for his paintings.[1]

Micallef's first personal exhibition was held in December 1986 at the annex of Saint John's Co-Cathedral in Valletta, and it consisted of paintings of birds. His second exhibition, which had the same subject, was held at the National Museum of Natural History in Mdina in June 1989. His third exhibition consisted of a different subject, architectural heritage, and it was held at the National Museum of Fine Arts in Valletta in August 1999. He has held a number of other exhibitions since then.[1][6][7][8][9]

Micallef also illustrated a number of books, the first of which was Flora u Fawna ta' Malta (Flora and Fauna of Malta) in 1995.[1] He designed eight sets of postage stamps for MaltaPost between 1999 and 2006, and again in 2018. The stamps consist of paintings of marine life, birds, cacti and succulents, seashells, mammals and reptiles, insects, domestic pets and dogs. Two of these designs was reused in a miniature sheet in 2007 and an occasion card in 2013.[10][11]

Music

Micallef is a professional chromatic button accordion player, and he performs locally in Malta. He has also entertained audiences in other countries, including Italy, France, England, Ireland, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Hungary, Greece,

Libya, the United States, Canada and Egypt.[1]
