Colourized Images By The Self-Taught Artist Marina Amaral

Artist colourizes portraits and detailed images, taken from various historical periods.

Marina Amaral is a Brazilian artist known for her colorizations of historical black and white photographs. The 21-year-old artist can spend anywhere from a few hours to several months retouching each image in Photoshop.

She started to restore and put color into photos that were originally black and white, allowing people to see history from a new and colorful perspective. Each photo is made to be realistic by recognizing the value behind each one of them, respecting and preserving their stories, paying attention to the finer details and maintaining their original essence.

Every completed work has gone through long and in depth research, and is supported by the opinions of experts in each particular area if necessary, to faithfully reproduce the original colors and atmosphere.
