"MORE REAL THAN LIFE!"
ARTWORKS THAT WILL SOON BE MINTED
I am well known on social media for videos in which I create incredibly realistic drawings in a short time. Some of these videos have exceeded 20 million views on YouTube alone. On the occasion of the "It's Life" exhibition in Seoul, 100 artworks were insured for 6 million euros. I receive many requests, but I don't sell my drawings and paintings, the only way to own a "Marcello Barenghi artwork" is to buy an NFT.

ABOUT
Some says I'm one of the best artists in the world, I studied Art, I graduated in Architecture, and for 15 years I had been working at Blockbuster.
I’m serious! I tried working as a freelance illustrator but, really, they made me believe that my talent was useless, exploiting me and humbling my work. I was so disappointed and saddened that, at 23 of age and for 20 years, I stopped drawing, taking the best years of my life away from art.
If I hadn't lost my job in 2013, you would probably never have seen my artworks.
Unemployed and with nothing to lose, I opened my Youtube channel and I started drawing again, getting a lot of satisfaction.
Since 2013 I have been collaborating with big brands such as Samsung, McDonalds, Marvel and in 2016 Mercedes Petronas revealed its new f1 car with my speed drawing.
List of my clients
In 2021 I inaugurated my first personal exhibition in Seoul, "It's Life", with 100 works including drawings and paintings (insured for 6 million euros).
Today I am a full time artist and have millions of followers around the world and I am inspiring many young artists who post their artworks with the hashtag #marcellobarenghiinspired
It's Life - Seoul
The exhibition consisted of more than 100 artworks and lasted 4 months. It was divided into 8 different rooms.
The exhibition had a great impact in Korea and I was invited to speak about art at the "Asian Leadership Conference".
