Fabio Marinho is a Brazilian visual artist currently based in Fargo, North Dakota. After nearly two decades working in education and technology, he decided in 2015 to fully dedicate himself to the art he had loved since childhood: painting.

His early work paid tribute to music legends, translating presence and vibration into portraits rich in texture and energy. Over the years, he has created hundreds of paintings now part of private collections in over ten countries. Many of his clients commission personalized portraits using meaningful photographs, often capturing important family moments or honoring loved ones.

Currently, Fabio explores themes that reflect human transformation—physical, emotional, and energetic. His creative process is deeply meditative and intuitive, channeling sensations and allowing his soul to flow freely through color and form. His work moves between symbolic realism and emotional abstraction, often touching on spirituality, human energy, and ancestry.

In April 2025, he participated in the Hawley Art Show (Minnesota), receiving both the Committee Choice Award for his portrait of Marie Curie and the Public Appreciation Award for Light on the Past, a tribute to Native American heritage.

Selected exhibitions include:

• ExpoArte SP (28th Edition) – São Paulo, Brazil, 2022
• Arte Senza Confini – La Pigna Gallery, Rome, Italy, 2022
• Diversidades – Novotel, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 2023

His work is currently exhibited at the Underbrush Gallery in Fargo, ND, and can be seen on Instagram and Facebook (@fabiomarinhoart)
