Elvira SIRIO - Born in Reggio Calabria in 1954.
Graduated in mathematics, she is a teacher first and then a school principal.
Passionate about art since she was a girl, she pursued studies that apparently kept her away from this world, until she finally decided to wholeheartedly embrace her passion.
For many years she attended the “Libera Accademia” of master Paolo Raffa in her city and simultaneously took courses and master’s degrees in various parts of Italy. The fundamental turn comes with meeting master Roberto Ferri, who introduces her to a painting she had always aspired to.
She then becomes passionate about sculpture, following master Mohammad Sazesh in his Carrara studio.
She eventually furthered her studies at the Academy of Art in Florence.
In 2019 she is a signatory in Rome, along with 12 other artists, of the Manifesto of Effettismo, a painting movement founded by master Franco Fragale.
In 2020 she joined the International Academy of Modern Art in Rome.
A versatile artist, never conventional or repetitive, she rejects any predefined scheme and moves effortlessly from classical figurative to modern, from abstract to informal, from symbolism to conceptual.
-- By Vittorio Sgarbi --
The task Elvira Sirio has set for herself is to create emotions. The shaping of matter into creatures and subjects of 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 exalts the bond between woman and Mother Earth through a serpentine depiction which, for cultural reasons now rooted in common imagination, evokes a certain discomfort. Change is linked to the divine (whose symbolic heterochromia of the eyes underscores this), but it is perceived as something sinister and little reassuring. Sirio is incredibly current: how is the woman perceived today and what powers does she possess?
