About Marcos Marin: Born in Brazil in 1967, Marcos Marin is the son of a film producer and opera singer. He now lives and works in Monaco. From the age of five Marcos took classical piano lessons at the Sao Paulo Conservatory of Music. At a very young age, he started a career as a virtuoso pianist and went to study music in France. At the same time, he discovered a passion for painting. At the CitĂ© des Arts in Paris in 1990, Marcos met Vasarely. Intrigued by the latter's work, Marcos Marin embarked on an adventure of optical art. He was successful and was awarded two accolades for his works of art: The Fiat prize for his work on Christopher Columbus celebrating the 500th anniversary of the discovery of America (Fiat Museum in Turin) and The Philips Collection prize for his creation on Mona Lisa (coll. Philips New York). During the 90s, Marcos Marin played an important role in the cultural development between Brazil and France for IAAP UNESCO. In 2000, he moved to Miami Beach, USA, where he set up his workshop. 2003 was the year of his first monument sculpture. It was on display at the Coconut Grove Convention Center on the occasion of the grand opening of the Arteamericas art fair. He won the "Best of Florida" competition. In 2004 at Art Basel, Marcos Marin met Delphine Pastor, and, seduced by his talent, invited him to come and exhibit in Monaco. The inauguration of the exhibition - which features a magnificent portrait of Princess Grace now displayed in the âNouveau MusĂ©e National de Monacoâ - took place a few days after the death of Prince Rainier. Prince Albert then asked Marcos Marin to design the official monument dedicated to his father. This monument was unveiled on January 18, 2006, at the entrance to the Chapiteau de Fontvieille. In 2006, Marcos Marin met the stylist and patron, Pierre Cardin, who offered him the opportunity to create large-format works in Lacoste's studio. At the same time, Marcos Marin was working in Portugal with Stanley Ho for the fiftieth anniversary of the Estoril Casino. The owner presented Marcos Marin with two medals of honor: one, thanking him for the exhibition at the Casino Gallery and the other, for the Stanley Ho portrait taken in Macau. In 2009, the artist was invited to Japan as part of the Brazil-Japan collaboration, where he obtained recognition for the entirety of his work.
