In the state capital he graduated from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais (PUC-MG). In the academic environment, he definitely felt freed from the framework of social exclusion, learning and teaching with every obstacle that life presented to him.

The fact of born and grow up in the most recondite "silence" could has made Marcos a sad and limited person, but instead, it served to enhance his immense artistic talent.

​

       He never felt "different" or less capable because of his auditory limitation. He moved on with determination and joy of living toward his goals, his objectives. It was the artist's light shining in his soul! What for most is "silence", for Marcos is the "sound of the art." Sound that makes him surrender himself to the charm of colors, shapes and dreams. Since he was seven, he risked in brushstrokes of oil on canvas, enchanting everyone.

          The art is the highest expression of his immense love for life. It is not related to a single theme or style, is a style of eclecticism sum, ethnic diversity, expression of the "multi-sided", versatility of the Art History of the world. A world of dreams and colors in shades that shine - intense colors that give life to the scenery and characters that populate his work. In the style created by the artist there is a mixture of cubism, fauvism, modern art and expressionism. But his desire is for freedom to create something innovative and impactful - he was an artist who created a totally personal and unique style.

It is the awakening of an eclectic and versatile art that explores several themes in an own style of a soul that stays in celebration, celebrating the life and the received gift. "God wants, man does, the work happens." And it was done!

​

         The artist captures the facts not in the rational way, but transcends reality, revealing the essence of the phenomenon, something that just happens due to the sensitivity and beauty of his soul.

​

        The "silence" was not reason to stop the dreams and his teleological ability. He overtook with his brushes, colors and talent which for many would be an insurmountable obstacle. Believing in himself, Marcos Anthony surpassed the sound barrier to become more than a great artist, a great man!
