- 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.
She attends for many years the “Libera Accademia” of master Paolo Raffa in her city and at the same time courses and master classes in various parts of Italy. The meeting with master Roberto Ferri, which brings her closer to a painting she had always aspired to, was fundamental.
She then becomes passionate about sculpture following master Mohammad Sazesh in his Carrara studio.
She finally studies further at the Academy of Art in Florence.
In 2019 she was signatory in Rome alongside 12 other artists of the Manifesto of Effettismo, a painting current founded by master Franco Fragale.
In 2020 she joined the International Academy of Modern Art of Rome
A versatile artist, never conventional nor repetitive, she rejects any predefined schema, roaming freely from classical figurative to modern, from abstract to informal, from symbolism to conceptual.
-- By Vittorio Sgarbi --
The task that Elvira Sirio has set for herself is to create emotions. The modeling 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 are confronted with a magical being, which exalts the bond between woman and Mother Earth through a serpentine depiction that, for cultural reasons now rooted in the common imagination, induces a certain discomfort. Change is linked to the divine (whose symbolic heterochromia of the eyes), but perceived as something sinister and not reassuring. Sirio is incredibly current: how is woman viewed today and what powers does she have?
