Etienne Bugeja is a 3D sculptor from Malta whose work explores the quieter, more unsettling edges of the human condition. Working across digital sculpting and physical production, including resin printing, his practice stands in deliberate contrast to the sun-soaked environment he grew up in, instead embracing shadow, tension, and introspection.
His work is rooted in everyday life, but viewed through a lens that reveals the strange, the morbid, and the quietly absurd. Etienne finds beauty in discomfort, decay, and vulnerability, challenging the idea that art must be tied to happiness. For him, darker themes are not something to escape, but something to observe, understand, and transform into form.
Shaped by lived experience and guided heavily by music, which plays a central role in his creative rhythm and emotional tone, Etienne’s practice continues to evolve toward more visceral and expressive outcomes. Through Project 195, his work adds a raw and introspective voice from Malta, expanding the project’s global narrative into more challenging emotional territory.
