Biography

Born and raised in São Paulo, Marin initially pursued a career as a pianist. Marin came to France to study music in Angers.[1] Marin came into contact with Victor Vasarely while working as an assistant to a printmaker in Montmartre.[2] He met gallerist Delphine Pastor at Art Basel in 2004[2] where he exhibited a portrait of Grace Kelly at her gallery that was acquired by the New National Museum of Monaco.[2] The portrait was later installed at Princess Grace Hospital in December 2020.[3]

In 2007, under the patronage of Pierre Cardin, he took up a residency at Château de Lacoste.[2] His first project was a series of portraits of classical musicians for Pierre Cardin's Festival de Lacoste.

In 2019, Marin's sculpture of Neymar was unveiled in Paris.[4]
