Siro was born in Santiago, Chile in 1974. Siro’s work is developed through two parallel paths. There is a deep interest in the mysteries of biology and the creation of life, and an exploration in the architectural spatial organization, also as if it were a living entity. He works with different techniques such as oil, graphite, markers, rubber canvas, varnishes, resins and woodburning technique in the drawing, sculpture, painting, and the search for new procedures in video and sound pieces. Siro has taken part in several group exhibitions as Circuits XII (Spain-NewYork), ARCO 07, XIII Biennale Puglia – Italy
