Marcus Jealinho

Marcus Jealinho is a german based artist with roots in Brasil. He grew up with his caring adoptive family, where he was exposed to art at a very early age since his uncle is a painter and sculpturist too. Pan-African tradition and stories are the foundation of Marcus' creations. Art to him is a form of therapy and a triumph over pain and hardships, something infinite and borderless, a constant requestioning of the status quo.
