About the artist and their work:
Domenico de Clario is an interdisciplinary artist, academic, writer and musician. He was born in Trieste, Italy, in 1947 and migrated to Australia in 1956. He studied architecture and town planning at Melbourne University, painting at Milan’s Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera and at the Preston Institute of Technology (1973-75). De Clario presented early exhibitions at Pinacotheca Gallery throughout the 1970s and went onto to become a highly awarded artist who had exhibited and performed extensively throughout the world.
After seeing numerous exhibitions by de Clario throughout the 1980s the Hirshes purchased five paintings directly from the artist’s studio around 1988. Two of these larger paintings by de Clario were gifted by Anouk Hulme to Deakin University in 2021.
