Marcelo Rocha is a Brazilian painter specializing in oil and plein air paint. After working for many years as an IT executive, he decided to study painting at Plein Air Studio in Brazil and The Art Students League in the United States. Nowadays, he dedicates himself exclusively to art and is the author of hundreds of canvases made to order and scattered throughout private collections in America, Europe and Asia.
