[5][6][7] Agius continued his education at the Malta Society of Arts, Manufacturers, and Commerce between 1950 and 1953 where he studied under Ignazio Cefai.

[1][2][5][6] He then spent 4 years at the School of Arts, where he was tutored by Emvin Cremona, Vincent Apap, and Ġorġ Borg under who he studied clay modeling.

[5][6] His studies at St Martin's led him to achieve the national diploma in design, modelling, sculpture and letter cutting.

[3] Of note is a collection of works in olive wood that is now housed in the Mdina Cathedral Museum, accompanied by drawings by Agius himself.

[2] Other notable works are the crucifix he created for the Kerygma Chapel[3] and the statue of St Frances Assisi at the entrance of the Peace Lab.

[2][3][7] His funeral was held on 22 October 2008 in the Church of the Nativity of Our Lady (known as ta' Ġieżu), after which he was buried in St. Margaret Cemetery in Rabat.

[27][28][29] The monument depicts Anton Agius at his work bench, sculpting fish out of a piece of olive wood while in the company of his two dogs.

Spiteri was entrusted with modelling a copy of Aguis' work "Shoal of Fish", which he had sculpted out of wood just as depicted in the monument.

[8][27][28][29] In 2009, the Culture Commission of the L’Isle Adam Band Club of Rabat organised an exhibition showcasing works by Agius, in commemoration of the first anniversary of his death.
