activity

Dalpra studied with Arnulf Rainer at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. His works have been shown in numerous exhibitions and activities since the 1980s and are represented in collections such as the Museum Liaunig, the Museum Angerlehner, the Museum Lentos in Linz and others. Dalpra's art was exhibited at the international Contemporary Art Fair in Zurich in 2013 and one year later at Art Bodensee 2014. In 2014 one of his sculptures graced the official poster of the Vienna Opera Ball. In 2015 he presented his sculptures at Art Palm Beach in Florida and at VIENNAFAIR.

After further exhibitions in 2015 at Albemarle in London, Vienna and St. Pölten, Dalpra completed four large sculptures in Indonesia in 2016 for the Croma headquarters in Klosterneuburg, Austria. In 2016, Dalpra organized a live performance event in Vienna in collaboration with the Austrian fashion designer Jürgen Christian Hörl. Since 2018, three sculptures by Dalpra have been exhibited on the deck of the Harmony of the Seas , the largest cruise ship in the world when it is completed.

His best-known series of works, “Faces”, was created in 2010 and continues to this day. It shows characteristic Mario Dalpra faces that are anything but “ideal” in terms of classic or contemporary film, photo and comic book heroes and heroes. Neither academic rules of proportion nor traces of movement can be seen in the faces. Dalpra lives and works in Vienna, India and Indonesia.
