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 distance her from this world, until she finally decides to fully embrace her passion.
For many years she attended the “Libera Accademia” of maestro Paolo Raffa in her city and at the same time took courses and masterclasses in various parts of Italy. The fundamental encounter with maestro Roberto Ferri brought her closer to a painting she had always aspired to.
She later developed an interest in sculpture, following maestro Mohammad Sazesh in his Carrara studio.
She finally refined her skills at the Accademia d’Arte in Florence.
In 2019 she was a signatory in Rome, along with 12 other artists, of the Manifesto dell’Effettismo, a painting current founded by maestro Franco Fragale.
In 2020 she joined the International Academy of Modern Art of Rome
A versatile artist, never conventional or repetitive, she rejects any predefined scheme, moving effortlessly from classical figurative to modern, from abstract to informal, from symbolism to conceptual.
-- From Vittorio Sgarbi --
The task Elvira Sirio has set 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 enhances the bond between woman and Mother Earth through a serpentiform depiction that, for cultural reasons now rooted in the common imagination, provokes a certain discomfort. The change is linked to the divine (of which the heterochromia of the eyes is symbolic), but perceived as something sinister and not reassuring. Sirio is incredibly timely: how is the woman viewed today and what powers does she possess?
Vittorio SGARBI
