My name is Gabriel Marques, i'm 27 years old and i live in Sao Paulo. This page is to showcase my artwork. All artwork in this page was created and developed by me and has all its rights reserved. Any question my email mrgabrielmarques@gmail.com.
I was born in Brazil on the 28th February of 1984 (under the star sign of Pisces), in Sao Paulo. After 1 year i moved to the countryside and grew up there. When i reached 17, i moved to South Africa (Johannesburg) as the wildest experience for one year as an exchange student. Getting back to Brazil I started studding Industrial Design (luckily) in one of the best art colleges in Sao Paulo, I studied there for 4 years and graduated as a Graphic Designer and worked in an agency for awhile. While I was in college I went to Orlando, Florida to work in DisneyWorld's Magic Kingdom as backstage Costuming and Cosmotology for 2 months. Also, I worked with renowned stylist Gloria Calil for a subject in a magazine, illustrating her concept for what is best for mean wear. My artwork was also an inspiration for fashion stylist Rabbith Ive, giving her imagination to develop a whole collection for her post-graduate work in high fashion.Throughout my whole life I´ve been inspired by my travelling around the world and teaching myself how to draw and paint, since is something I was naturally born with and always loved to practice and never forced to. After spending 1 year and 4 months in Dublin/Ireland, working for VenueOne.com as a graphic designer and as a Photography Director, I´m back in Brazil, living in Sao Paulo. During my time in Dublin, i painted and created my own techniques to create visual art as a way to communicate and express myself, it can be watercolor, sketches or as digital art in the computer, or even with photography and digital modification of images. In November of 2010, I won the Champion Sports - Adidas Competition along with two other contestants. My artwork was published on an outdoor. In February od 2011, my artwork was exhibited at a bar in Dublin called The Good Bar, 13 (A1 and A2 sizes) pieces were chosen to be on the walls of the bar for a month - And i managed to sell 3 of them!! Now a new challenge begins, and im settled in Sao Paulo once again, right now im working as Art Assistent for Lid-Group Brazil.
