Marco Nobre’s paintings are visions born of the sea and the shore, where whales carry ships, cups become vessels of wonder, and faces rise like ancient façades. His imagery blends architecture, marine life, celestial symbols, and ornamental motifs into dreamlike narratives that shimmer with light and positivity.

Deeply tied to the ocean since childhood through surfing, Marco’s work carries the rhythm of waves and the timelessness of salt. His background in architecture under José Alberto Alegria and years as a tattoo artist have shaped his eye for form, precision, and the symbolic weight of imagery.

Working in textured layers of acrylics, Marco creates worlds that feel both ancient and playful – a Mediterranean mythology of boats, palms, masks, and animals, suspended between memory and imagination.

Marco lives and works in Portugal, where he shares a studio-home with his wife, artist Sandra Elisabeth Nobre.
