Mario Marino

Faces of Africa

Africa's cultural diversity in visually stunning portraits

The multi-award-winning photographer Mario Marino attracts attention in museums and galleries around the world.

For over 20 years, the Austrian-born artist has travelled to the most remote areas of Africa: always in search of unique moments of encounter.

"Empathy and instinct is the key to my work. I try to read people's lives, the circumstances in which they live. I am fascinated by their cultural background and identity." - Mario Marino

A moving book of photographs full of intense moments - each individual image shows the person in dialogue with the photographer and ultimately with us, the viewer of this extraordinary book.
