“I want to contribute to an archive of images that portray what it’s like to be evolving in our bodies today by creating images of black bodies beyond just the pain; in freedom, joy, boldness, vulnerability, and so much more,” the artist says. Working across art and fashion, Schaël finds inspiration in all forms of culture, beauty, and shared human experiences to craft his delicate, refined aesthetic. Both timeless and modern, Schaël Marcéus’ work is synonymous with boundless creativity and sophisticated simplicity.
