Marco D’ Agostino was born in 1963 in Pescara on the Adriatic coast of Italy.
He was faschinated by drawing at a very early age. Recognising that he had talent, his father gave him an easel, canvas and tempera paint as a gift for his 7th birthday. Nothing has stopped him drawing from that moment on.
During his childhood he created hundreds of drawings, sketches and caricatures of his teachers and classmates. His
recent work is now recognized and appreciated at both a national and international level.
In the ’80s he also learned the art of engraving. His has participated in various national and international exhibitions
