Wark Rocinha

Hailing from Rocinha, the largest favela in Rio de Janeiro, Marcos Rodrigo aka Wark Rocinha, weaves inspiration through a life rooted in community.

Blessing the bustling passages of the Rocinha Favela, Wark's iconic angel designs consciously watch over the residents of the community, as he invites onlookers to question, who in life can you play the role of an angel for?

​Wark's vibrant studio in the heart of the favela provides an animated sanctuary for children and young people to develop artistic skills and receive guidance from him, nurturing the next wave of artistic talent in the favela. 

​Wark's footprint in Rio is one of passion, community and turning challenges into opportunities.
