Ruben Buhagiar

Ruben Buhagiar

“Life is beautiful”. This is the motto which guides and best describes the work of Maltese photographer Ruben Buhagiar. Ruben is a ‘Mosti’. Ruben is a keen promoter of new practices and developments and insists in his quests in keeping photography as an art form. as typified in his various lectures and presentations, Ruben has been described as a romantic expressionist, and his images always tend to involve the viewer considerably in such a way that the viewer might in fact form part of the image. There is always a story, a fourth dimension or message involved. His style has been described as bold and sharp, subtly ironic, aimed at depicting the atmosphere of the situation and tends towards a street photojournalistic touch epitomized by the ’decisive moment’. Other works are dreamy, conceptual, even surreal, however always real. An engineer by profession, a keen traveler and fascinated by history and culture, his work delves into the world of people by actually becoming one of them. He wants to participate and make people participate. Life is beautiful after all.
