She holds a degree in mathematics, and has been a teacher first and then a school principal. Passionate about art since she was young, she followed studies that apparently took her away from this world, until she finally decided to wholeheartedly embrace her passion. For many years she attended the “Libera Accademia” of maestro Paolo Raffa in her city, while also taking courses and master’s programs in various parts of Italy. A fundamental encounter was with maestro Roberto Ferri, who brought her closer to a painting she had always aspired to. She then developed a passion for sculpture, following maestro Mohammad Sazesh in his Carrara studio. She finally refined her craft at the Academy of Art in Florence. In 2019 she was a signatory in Rome, together with another 12 artists, of the Manifesto of Effettismo, a painting movement 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 schema, moving 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 to the feminine world, leads us to speak of metamorphosis. With sculpture half woman and half reptile we face a magical being that extols the bond between woman and Mother Earth through a serpentine depiction which, for cultural reasons now rooted in the common imagination, instills a certain unease. Change is tied to the divine (of which eye heterochromia is symbolic), but perceived as something sinister and unsettling. Sirio is incredibly timely: how is the woman seen today and what powers does she have? Vittorio SGARBI
