'MERCEDES BRABUS' | 100x100

Marcelo Vallini is an emerging artist whose talent is beginning to shine brightly on the contemporary art circuit. A descendant of Mercedes and Chevrolet dealership owners, his interest in the automotive world is in his roots.

With an educational background in architecture and hands-on experience as a Porsche mechanic gained in his father’s restoration shop, Vallini has a deep understanding of both the structure and aesthetics of the vehicles he transforms into art. His passion for design is evident in his works, which are influenced by both the sophisticated contours of automobiles and the genius of masters such as Picasso and Andy Warhol.

The PBArts gallery, which represents Marcelo Vallini, is a vital link in his career. With high-profile clients such as Neymar Jr. and a portfolio of emerging talents and big names, PBArts provides Vallini with a platform through which he can project his work to a wider and more diverse audience. The gallery has been instrumental in introducing his canvases and sculptures to the market, works that are the result of a fusion between his technical training and his artistic sensibility.

Vallini also has his work on display at the Porsche Rio Gallery, a gallery featuring renowned artists located inside the Porsche dealership in Rio de Janeiro. His clients include the beloved drivers Tarso Marques (F1) and Otávio Mesquita (Porsche Cup), which further reinforces the connection between his work and the world of high-performance automotive.

Marcelo Vallini also believes that his art should be used to do good. He recently donated one of his works to the charity auction of the Oswaldo Ribeiro de Mendonça Institute (IORM), held on May 25 at Estância Colorado during the "A Feijoada do Bem" event. This gesture of solidarity reflects his commitment to using his art to contribute positively to society.

With plans to expand his reach into Europe, Marcelo Vallini is keen to partner with the car brands that inspire his art, uniting his Italian roots with his passion for automotive design. Vallini’s vision is to create a bridge between cultures through his art, connecting European design heritage and contemporary innovation.
