Hilary Spiteri, born in 1982 in B’Kara, Malta, displayed a keen interest in the arts from a young age. In 1990, he achieved first prize in the Malta National Annual Art Competition, marking the beginning of his artistic journey. From 1993 to 1998, Spiteri attended the Mikiel Anton Vassalli Lyceum in Tal-Handaq, where he delved into the study of drawing. Continuing his educational pursuits, he enrolled at the Gian Frangisk Abela Junior College in 2000, earning Advanced Level certifications in Art and Religion.

Subsequently, Spiteri pursued a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art at the University of Malta, graduating successfully in 2003. Concurrently, he undertook additional courses in Nude Drawing, Fresco, and Printing Techniques at the same institution. Furthering his academic credentials, Spiteri obtained a Master’s degree in Art with a specialization in artistic pedagogy, the Neoclassical movement, and nineteenth-century European art, conducting significant research in Rome during this period.

In 2011, Spiteri made a significant contribution to the Art History field with the publication of "Academic Artistic Training in Early British Malta" by Allied Publications. Concurrently, he explored the realm of photography, both technically and historically. In 2014, Spiteri lectured at the SWPP Convention 2014 in London, focusing on the intersection between Art and Photography. He also contributed to various publications and exhibitions related to the History of Art during this time.

Hosting his inaugural solo exhibition in Italy in 2014, titled "Con gli Occhi del Cuore," Spiteri continued to make waves in the art world. His second publication, "Filial Churches of Malta: Qormi A Case Study," added to his contributions to Art History in November 2016. Additionally, his article "The Benefits of Art-Personal, National and Universal" was featured in "The Benefits of Art" edited by Kevin Casha-APS Publications in March 2017, earning him the Premju Għarfien il-Ħila from Qormi Local Council in May 2017.

Since 2015, Spiteri has been involved in presenting art documentaries and features in both Maltese and English languages, covering the breadth of art in Malta from ancient times to the contemporary era. His artworks adorn private collections in Malta and beyond, and he has contributed illustrations to literary and educational publications.

Currently serving as the Assistant Head of School and Head of the Art Department at De La Salle College Sixth Form Malta, Spiteri imparts knowledge in Art, History of Art, and Systems of Knowledge. He also holds membership in the Commission for Sacred Art on behalf of the Church in Malta and periodically contributes art historical articles to The Sunday Times of Malta.
