ชีวประวัติ:

Dalmiro Sirabo was an Argentine painter, engraver, and sculptor, born in La Plata, Argentina in 1934. He is considered the father of conceptual art in Argentina. Sirabo was the elder of two sons of an Italian immigrant father and an Argentine mother of Albanese origin. He studied at the National University of La Plata, where he focused on vision, design, and architecture. Sirabo also took individual art classes and worked as a museumologist and designer. He served as the sub-director of the Provincial Museum of Fine Arts in La Plata. In the 1960s, Sirabo was part of the 'Grupo Sí', a group of informalist painters that caused a stir in La Plata and Buenos Aires. He also represented Argentina at the XXXVI Biennale de Paris in 1969. Sirabo lived in the United States from 1972 to 1975, where he took courses at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D.C. and New York. He began exhibiting in La Plata in 1958 and had over 100 exhibitions in Argentina and around the world. His works are characterized by their vigorous presence, internal tension, and extreme symbolic synthesis. Sirabo received numerous awards and recognitions, including the 'Ver y Estimar' prize from the Museum of Modern Art in Buenos Aires in 1966 and the 'Second Prize of Sculpture' at the Manuel Belgrano Salon in Buenos Aires. He exhibited at the MACLA and lived and worked in Gonnet until his death in 2002.
