Fabio Marinho is a Brazilian contemporary painter and a practitioner of the style spontaneous realism, created by the Austrian artist Voka, who was his main inspiration. Fabio lives in São Paulo, and he had exported his paintings for many countries around the world. Due to his virtuous skills as a musician, he realized patterns between music elements and visual arts, creating a process to visually reproduce in his paintings the same feeling caused by harmony, melody, and other sound elements. Marinho’s purpose is to really immerse in the state of mind of each artist that he paints to express that through visual elements.

During the period of 2016 and 2017, Marinho had decided to paint non-famous people from photos he founded that could tell a story. This was a period of exploring different techniques to become a master of reproducing faces and transposing their emotions to the canvas. This is a challenge that became even harder when he had no affective memory about those people. Nevertheless, Fabio worked on a large number of paintings during these two years – something around 60 – where you can see some of them here.
