Born in 1991 near Napoli (Italy), Marco Russo has always loved drawing, painting and comics. From early school, he began to acquire skills and receive awards. Expressing himself and communicating through these means become his way of life. He attends high school at the "A.Passaglia" Art Institute in Lucca (the city of comics) where, in 2009, he met Simone Bianchi (world-famous Marvel artist) who helped him improve. He had the privilege to collaborate with him in coloring the story about Doctor Doom in Fantastic Four # 1 (Marvel 2018), "Sharkey: The Bounty Hunter" (Netflix), and other projects.

On January 1st, 2018, he opened his Creative Studio to create 360 ​​° images. From the most classic paintings to advertising graphics, from comics to design, etc. In these years he participated in more than 50 events between Italy, Europe, and the United States. In 2023 for instance, between the Chicago event (C2E2) and the one in New York City (NYCC), he started new collaborations as the one with “Anthony's Comic Book Art” and with the famous cArt Gallery in Rome. Soon after, he started his exhibition “Inside my mind” at the “Il Germoglio” Gallery in Tuscany. Marco has made also several covers for books, advertisements, images for companies, brands, graphic novels, illustrations for songs, board games, posters for events, etc. Among his other works: in 2020 for Edizioni Chartesia he painted 3 canvases of Dante Alighieri's "Divine Comedy”. The ambitious project was introduced in absolute preview during the OPEN STUDIO ONLINE, the live broadcast that Marco produced in collaboration with Lucca Comics during the lockdown for the Covid-19 pandemic.
Those paintings and others were used for some art exhibitions. In 2024 he drew the graphic novel “Vino Generoso” by Italo Svevo. (PV Edizioni)
