Alirio Palacios was a Venezuelan visual artist born near Tucupita, Delta Amacuro (December 7, 1938). He died in Caracas on September 11, 2015. Palacios excelled at drawing, engraving, graphic designing, printmaking and sculpture thanks to a lengthy and solid education at top art centers in Caracas, Paris, Beijing and Warsaw among others. Amid many awards, Palacios won the National Prize of Plastic Arts of Venezuela in 1977. His work is on display in museums and public sites internationally, including the presidential Palace and the National Supreme Cout in Caracas, the Casa de Las Américas in Havana, and the University of Edinburgh where Palacio`s portrait of the first Venezuelan President Jose Maria Vargas is on permanent display.[1] Many of Palacios`s works have been successfully sold at autions by Sotheby's and Christie's in New York, and at Hotel des Ventes in Geneve[2][3] Palacios has authored many books on his own work , and illustrated several literature books by other authors. The artist is listed in important reference sources such as The Encyclopedia of Latin American and Caribbean Art[4] and The Guttenberg List of Venezuelan Artists.[5] Horse figures were often motifs of his graphic and scupltoric art, an obsession he developed during his long stay in China.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12]

Education and Career

As a child, Palacios began painting in his hometown by the Orinoco River depicting animal figures with chalk on blackboards from his mother`s and aunt`s school. At sixteen he began studies at the Caracas School of Fine Arts (Venezuela) where he graduated in 1960. Palacios traveled to Europe representing his home country at the VII Youth Festival in Vienna, Austria (1960). He undertook further painting studies at the Academy of Fine Arts, Rome, Italy (1961) and also studied water base engraving techniques at the University of Fine Arts in Beijing, China, where he was tutored by ]]Li Hua]] and Li Co Yan, graduating in 1969. He was later an Intern at the Academy of Art in Berlin, Germany (1968–1970) and studied Printmaking at the University of Warsaw, Poland. From 1985 he resided in New York for 20 years during which he pursued his art career and also acted as a cultural adviser to the Venezuelan Consulate. He then moved back to his home country where he was widely revered, dying of heart failure in 2015. Piero della Francesca , the italian Renaissaince Master, was a self-acknowledged influence to the artist.[13]
