Marcelo Magalhães is a figure who transcends the boundaries of medicine and art. He was born in Brazil, in a small city in the center-west of Minas Gerais State. His multifaceted journey has led him to explore the fields of neurosurgery, photography, music and painting. After completing his medical studies at the State University of Montes Claros, Magalhães decided to follow his passion for neurosurgery and after having experience producing anatomical figures for his neuroanatomy book he realized that another passion had been born there. Around 2015, he began his experience with photography, which he achieved with some photography books published. Photography sometimes came, accompanied by a somewhat historical touch, due to the fact that some of his books present cultural data about the place. In photography, there are different lines of work: some work on textures, especially those in black and white, others on the symmetry of geometric shapes and architecture. Painting came recently, in a self-dictated way, following different paths, abstract and figurative. In abstract painting, he uses bold brushstrokes and vibrant colors to evoke deep emotions and sensations. Freedom and inner feeling are expressed in the mixture of antagonistic colors and often through lines. His abstract works often draw inspiration from his experience as a neurosurgeon, exploring the complexity of the mind. Abstract painting expresses the artist's interior at that moment. On the other hand, his figurative approach reveals bucolic environments and gardens. In music, his experience began around the age of 14 with the classical guitar. He recently recorded the album Genesis, which brings together 8 classical guitar compositions. Marcelo Magalhães personifies artistic expression, proving that the boundaries between disciplines can be fluid when passion and art come together in harmony.
