Marco Bellini
Marco paints the towns people come back to. Harbours at the hour the lamps come on, built thick with a knife so the water stands off the canvas.

Where Marco works.
A stone studio above the river in Florence. The walls carry decades of dried paint. Shutters open to the water and the afternoon sun.
Get to know Marco.
What inspires him
The hour before the light goes, in the harbour towns of the Mediterranean and the coast beyond: Positano, Dubrovnik, Venice, Kotor. The moment one window comes on warmer than the sky.
How the work gets made
Paint straight from the tube onto the knife, no medium, no thinning. The water is built in ridges you can see from across the room, and every lamp is one lifted stroke.
What makes a Marco Bellini a Marco Bellini.
No brushes
The first lamp
Harbours
“I don't own a brush. I haven't for eleven years.”

Table Strung Above: the supper club I painted from memory
One long table, forty lights, and the harbour town glowing three hundred feet below.
Marco's next piece is coming.
Warmth is the hardest thing to fake and the first thing people feel. His harbours sell to the eye and stay for the touch.
