Joyce Camilleri (b. Toronto, Canada, 1980) lives and maintains a studio in Malta. She is a member of the Department of Visual Arts of the Faculty for the Built Environment at the University of Malta.

Camilleri’s artistic practice is deeply rooted in drawing and printmaking, both of which inform her painting method. Her work pushes the boundaries of graphic elements, creating representational and quasi-abstract visual metaphors that blur the line between the real and the imaginary. She explores visual concepts of poetic space through ongoing material research, with an emphasis on artistic process rather than subject matter. Artistic intent and process-led practices remain interchangeable within her work.

She has received extensive training in art pedagogy, theory, and practice both in Malta and abroad. Her studies include a period at the Freie Universität, Berlin (2004), and fine art masterclasses at the Internationale Sommeracademie fur Bildende Kunst in Salzburg with Tobias Pils (2019). She also studied under Michael Morgner in 2005 and 2007 and was awarded a scholarship in expanded drawing practice.

Camilleri holds an M.Ed. (Artist Teacher) from the University of the West of Scotland (2017), a Diploma in Fine Art Printmaking from the Malta School of Art (2008), and a B.Ed. (Hons) in Art from the University of Malta (2002).

Over the years, she has exhibited extensively in both solo and group shows locally, as well as in international academic and contemporary art exhibitions across Europe – including Salzburg, Vicenza and Milan, and pop-up shows in Berlin and across Italy. Her work is part of permanent collections, including MUŻA – the Malta National Community Art Museum – following her participation in an artist residency held from April to May 2021. Her work is also included in the NI Institute and Museum Bitola, after being featured in the 10th and 11th International Triennial of Graphic Art Bitola (2021 and 2024).
