Art is not mere decoration. It should evoke emotions, provoke thought, and inspire contemplation.
Marco Scola’s works centre on the human face and figure, blending primitive and tribal art with avant-garde and abstract influences.
Statement
An intention to celebrate queerness and the vast spectrum of self-expression, and to show how the multifaceted nature of beings can manifest in various forms.
From watercolours to spray paints: canvases, fabrics, compressed cardboard, and repurposed materials found on the streets.

Matribal — the winter pop-up shop.
Matribal Wear
Recycled material turned into one-off garments, and jewellery made to be worn as work. Scola has an eye for the style people are not using yet: the shop is a place to experiment and leave with a new wardrobe, not with a few tips.
- Where
- Niederbarnimstraße 21, Berlin-Friedrichshain
- When
- Open every year from mid-October to mid-March.
Atelier Attico, Kreuzberg
Marco Scola
Marco Scola is the artist behind Matribal. He comes from Catania in Sicily. He studied architecture first, then moved to Rome and took a BA in Visual Arts at the Academy of Fine Arts.
He has been part of Berlin’s underground art scene since 2007. He lives and works at Atelier Attico, the last occupied flat in an emptied-out old building in Kreuzberg — and that building is part of what the paintings are about.
