[edit] Early life

Ducuron was born in Río Cuarto in Córdoba Province, Argentina. He is of French descent' his parents, Julio Loreto Ducuron and Elsa Lebrone descended from the French Basques of Madiran in the High Pyrenees Mountains.

Ducuron won his first professional art competition when he was 13 years old. The judges of the Rio Cuarto Art Exhibition awarded Ducuron first place in the plein air art competition in 1960. Ducuron's first art teacher, Professor Angel Vieyra, an artist in his own right, was witness to the event. The winning painting entitled The Hillock was also seen that day by Don Libero Pierini, a well known painter from Italy. Pierini was so taken by the art of the young Ducuron that he interceded and spoke with Don Marciano Longarini, the principal of the art school in order that the young artist might attend the school before the required age. His request was granted and thus Ducuron became the youngest student at the Escuela Provincial de Bellas Artes in Rio Cuarto, Argentina. There he studied under several highly regarded artists including Jorge Horacio Cordova, Jose Alvarez Soave, and Martin Santiago.

A brilliant student, Ducuron studied economic science as well as art and obtained his degree in 1970. That same year he was awarded an art study program at Grace College in Winona Lake, Indiana.

The art of Ducuron is in the permanent collections of the following institutions: Monza County Museum of Art in Monza, Italy; Latin American Art Museum in Miami, Florida; Haggai Institute in Atlanta, Georgia; Haggai Institute in Singapore, Japan; Ramon Gomez Cornet State Museum of Art in Santiago del Estero Province, Argentina; Walter de Navazio County Museum of Art in Bell Ville, Cordoba, Argentina; Lujan State Museum of Art in Lujan, Argentina; Rio Cuarto County Museum of Art, Argentina; Octavio de la Colina County Museum in La Rioja, Argentina; Lucense Art Center of Buenos Aires, Argentina; Collection Mujeres Argentinas para el Fondo Patriotico in Buenos Aires, Argentina; Mariano Moreno Public Library in Rio Cuarto, Argentina; National University of Rio Cuarto, Argentina; Collection of the Faculty of Economic Sciences at the University of Rio Cuarto, Argentina; Collection of the State School of Fine Arts in Rio Cuarto, Argentina; Government Collection of the City of Cordoba, Argentina.
