Kal Gajoum Site was born in Tripoli in 1968. His interest in art was sparked at a very early age when he was introduced to oil painting and palette techniques by his friends of the family who were artists in attendance at the Leonardo D’Vinci school of art in Rome. He held his first exhibition in Tripoli in 1983.
Between 1986 and 1988 he moved to Paris to learn watercolor techniques and the Parisian style of painting from a private artist. Kal returned to Tripoli to give an exhibition in 1992.
In 1993 he moved to Malta as a professional artist where he spent seven years working for the Royal Fine Art Gallery and also during this time continuing his pursuit of artistic knowledge. During his stay in Malta, Kal exhibited his work many times between 1995-1999 even traveling to Tunisia to exhibit in the Finesse Gallery of Carthage.
