- Elvira SIRIO - Born in Reggio Calabria in 1954.
Graduated in Mathematics, she is a teacher at first and then a school principal.
passionate about art since she was a girl, she pursued studies that seemingly moved her away from this world, until she finally decided to fully embrace her passion.
For many years she attended the “Libera Accademia” of Maestro Paolo Raffa in her city and concurrently took courses and master classes in various locations across Italy. The encounter with Maestro Roberto Ferri, which brought her closer to a painting she had always aspired to, was Fundamental.
She later became passionate about sculpture, following Maestro Mohammad Sazesh in his studio in Carrara.
She refined her craft at the Accademia d’Arte in Florence.
In 2019 she was a signatory in Rome, along with 12 other artists, of the Manifesto of Effettismo, a painting current founded by Maestro Franco Fragale.
In 2020 she joined the International Academy of Modern Art in Rome.
Versatile artist, never conventional or repetitive, she rejects any predefined scheme, moving confidently from classical figurative to modern, from abstract to informal, from symbolism to conceptual.
-- Di Vittorio Sgarbi --
The task Elvira Sirio has set for herself is to create emotions. The modeling of matter into creatures and subjects from her imagination, with particular attention paid to the female world, leads us to speak of Metamorphosis. With sculpture half woman and half reptile, we face a magical being that elevates the bond between woman and Mother Earth through a serpentine depiction which, for cultural reasons now rooted in common imagination, causes a certain discomfort. The change is linked to the divine (evidenced by the symbolic heterochromia of the eyes), but perceived as something sinister and unsettling. Sirio is incredibly current: how is the woman viewed today and what powers does she have?
