Virgílio Domingues was born in Lisbon in 1932. A sculptor, he took part in 1957 in the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation’s 1st Exhibition of Fine Arts at the Sociedade Nacional de Belas-Artes.
The human figure holds a central place in his work, as the pieces in the Modern Art Centre show, ranging from female figures of the 1950s to a series of small bronzes of three figures (father, mother and son) from the late 1960s and "Conluio", from 1975.
His work featured in several presentations of the Modern Art Centre collection and in exhibitions such as the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation’s 3rd Exhibition of Fine Arts in 1986, "Heimo Zobernig e a Colecção do Centro de Arte Moderna", which toured Portugal and the United Kingdom in 2008-2009, "Anos 70. Atravessar Fronteiras" in 2009-2010 and "Pós-Pop. Fora do lugar-comum. Desvios da Pop em Portugal e Inglaterra, 1965-1975" at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in 2018.
He is represented in the collection of the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation’s Modern Art Centre.
