Victor "Marka27" Quiñonez is an international street artist who works at the intersection of contemporary art, graffiti, vinyl toys, fashion and design. With paintings, murals, drawings, mix-media pieces and private commissions for major brands, his robust pallette blends elements of street and pop culture with Mexican and indigenous aesthetics — a signature look the artist has coined “Neo Indigenous.” Marka27’s work has become part of graffiti and street art history, hitting legendary spots such as Five Points and the Graffiti Hall of Fame in New York, the Belmont Tunnels in L.A. and adorning walls across the United States and globally. He is currently one of the most sought after muralists in the world, mastering his craft since before “street art” was even a term.
Originally born in Juarez, Mexico but growing up in Texas, Marka27’s career as an artist began on the streets of East Dallas in a neighborhood filled with gangs, drugs, and violence. His escape was tagging walls, painting freight trains and creating murals under the cover of night. At Booker T. Washington High School, he began honing his craft in a more formal setting, and won a full-ride scholarship to The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Under the mentorship of Magdalena Compos Pons, Quiñonez’ talents further blossomed, and he was honored with both the prestigious Robert & Ruth Remis Award and the Stephen D. Paine Scholarship. His first professional art exhibit was at the Isabella Gardner Museum followed by a group show at the Mills Gallery Boston.
After moving to Los Angeles with his wife and creative business partner, Liza, Marka27’s street style took him into the fashion industry as a product and graphic designer. In LA he began exhibiting at Man One’s now legendary CREWEST Gallery, a space created specifically to showcase works on canvas by graffiti artists. His work in the 2006 “Audio Canvas” installation made him a household name. Marka27's artwork has since been exhibited around the globe in spaces like Inner State Gallery, Gallery 1988, Think Space, La Luz de Jesus, Contemporary Art Center Mito Japan, A7MA Gallery, Brazil, and more.
Marka27’s body of work is vast and limitless, including murals,fashion, contemporary art and even the designer toy scene, where Marka27 made his debut at the height of its popularity with the critically-acclaimed MiniGODS: Givers of Divine Sound, a high-end line of designer vinyl toy speakers. Prolific in this artform as he is in his others, he went on to create Killa Instinct and BIC Buddies for BIC Plastics and half a dozen exclusive releases for KidRobot, among others. His designer toys have made it to the shelves of high end boutiques and coveted museum shops such as the Tate London, Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago, Bodega Boston, and Colette Paris to name a few.
