Fabio Marinho is a Brazilian visual artist currently based in Fargo, North Dakota. Deeply attuned to sound and frequency since childhood, he began painting as a way to give visual form to vibration, including silence. His early works paid homage to the elders of music, translating presence into portraiture rich in texture and energy.

Since 2015, after leaving a two-decade career in education and technology, Fabio has created hundreds of paintings. His body of work moves fluidly between symbolic realism and abstract expression, often exploring themes of spirituality, human energy, ancestry and transcendence.

Marinho’s paintings have been exhibited in Brazil, Italy, and the United States. In 2025, he received both the Committee Choice Award and the Public Appreciation Award at the Hawley Art Show (MN), marking a new phase in his international presence.
