Marina Amaral is a young Brazilian digital artist that believes, ‘color has the power to bring life back to the most important moments.’

Driven by her passion for history, Amaral does extensive research to make her colorizations as realistic as possible. Using Photoshop, Marina creates hundreds of layers to painstakingly bring color to historic black and white images.

Her passion has turned into a profession and Amaral has been commissioned both privately and by publishers, magazines, TV stations, and museums. Below you will find some examples of her fantastic work. For much more, check her out at the links below!
