Ricardo Migliorisi is a Paraguayan painter, costume designer, scenery designer and architect. Winner of national and international awards. He exposed his work in many countries in America and Europe. Ricardo was born in Asunción, Paraguay, on January 6, 1948 to Isolina Salsa Ferraris and Salvador Migliorisi Tumino, of Italian origin.
He did his elementary studies at the Dante Aliglieri School and later on, at San José School, in Asunción.
His liking for the aesthetics and art were manifested at a young age and has made to mature the soul of this artist. His first artistic expressions came up when he was eighteen years old.
When young, studied Plastic Arts in the Cira Moscarda Studio. In that studio many young people could give free hand to their creativity, expressed with inedited elements. The experience he lived there, gives him the impulse to come out as a transgressor in all his work.
Ricardo also studied engraving with the expert Livio Abramo, but basically he can be considered autodidactic.
Later on, he studied Architecture in the Universidad Nacional de Asunción (National University of Asuncion).
In the following years of his formation as an artist he gained much experience in many Latin-American countries, working as a wardrobe and scenery designer.
In the beginning he used drawing and painting in most of his work, but later included different other types of elements to his creations.
In a short period of time, the young artist showed the world an innovator, psychedelic and delirious style in his work.
Ricardo Migliorisi appears in the Paraguayan artistic society in the mid ‘60s, a time marked by the urgent actualization and opening, by the emerging novelty in the field of Modernism, that invaded all the artistic societies in America and Europe.
