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 decided to fully embrace her passion. For many years she attended the “Libera Accademia” of Master Paolo Raffa in her city and at the same time took courses and masters in various locations in Italy. The fundamental encounter with Master Roberto Ferri brought her closer to a painting she had always aspired to. She then grew fond of sculpture following Master Mohammad Sazesh in his studio in Carrara. She finally perfected her craft at the Academy of Art in Florence. In 2019 she was a signatory in Rome together with 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 or repetitive, she rejects any predefined scheme, 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 paid to the feminine world, leads us to speak of Metamorphosis. With sculpture half woman and half reptile we are faced 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. The change is linked to the divine (whose symbolism is the heterochromia of the eyes), but perceived as something sinister and unsettling. Sirio is incredibly current: how is the woman seen today and what powers does she have? Vittorio SGARBI
