Vilim Halbarth creates contemporary art pieces combining them through various media. He graduated from a mathematically oriented high school, so geometry is at the core of his work. Later he enrolled in a stone-masonry school in the town of Pučišća on the isle of Brač. His love of stone sculpture was born there. He graduated in sculpture from the Arts Academy of the University of Split. As said, the base of his work is sculpture, but recently he has become preoccupied with installation forms executed in larger formats. Halbarth utilises objects found and used in the metallurgical industry, specifically in shipbuilding (pipes, sheet metal, etc.).

Recently he has expanded his artistic interests to media such as video and photography. In his work, Halbarth studies light, sound, scent, and air and their application within sculptural forms. He examines the social aspects of life and work, as well as human interactions and relationships within the society Halbarth belongs to. He emphasises the peculiarities found in this society which is transitioning from a socialist (communist) governance to a capitalist one. To date, he has had 14 solo exhibitions and numerous group ones.
