Biography
Marco Barberio the self-taught artist blending pop culture and realism with urban soul
I was born in 1971 in a town in Calabria: Lamezia Terme. Throughout my life, I have always cultivated a passion for art and creativity, even without attending art schools. I consider myself self-taught, and as such, I have always sought my path independently.
I spent my teenage years in the 1980s inspired by the myth of American graffiti and pop art, which led to my first works on the city walls.
In the 1990s, I found myself in the midst of the digital revolution and the rise of the Internet. Thanks to my inclination for new technologies and my love for art, I co-founded a web company with friends, taking on the role of art director.
During my frequent travels to the United States, I solidified my approach of selecting metropolitan subjects for my realistic paintings, often referencing pop icons.
