Mario Dalpra studied under Arnulf Rainer at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. He began exhibiting his works in the 1980s and they have since been displayed as part of numerous exhibitions and events, as well as in collections such as the Liaunig Museum, the Angerlehner Museum, the Lentos Museum in Linz, and others. In 2014, one of his sculptures graced the official poster for the Vienna Opera Ball.

Following further exhibitions in 2015 in the Albemarle Gallery in London, in Vienna and in St Pölten, Dalpra created four large sculptures for the headquarters of Croma in Klosterneuburg. In 2016 he staged a live performance event in Vienna in collaboration with Austrian fashion designer Jürgen Christian Hörl. Since 2018, three of Dalpra’s sculptures have been displayed on the deck of the Harmony of the Seas, which was the largest cruise ship in the world at the time of its construction.
