Marco Maiato, 25, is a trans queer artist born in Luanda, Angola. They use image manipulation and 3D rendering to create visual compositions and universes where people who are racialised and marginalised by today’s society can exist in their most authentic versions. With a mixed media approach, such as photography and 3D modelling, Maiato explores Afro-futurism, gender fluidity, sex, emotional expressionism and fashion creation in a metaphysical universe. Marco Maiato builds their work on and for a community that brings with it narratives that are overlooked because of their identity, nationality and social status.
