Martin Varbaro is a name that resonates with creativity and innovation in the art world, hailing from the neighborhood of San Andres in the Province of Buenos Aires. As a youthful enthusiast, he spent his days immersed in the vibrant skateboard culture, forming bonds with peers who later rose to prominence as international tattoo artists and professional skateboarders. Varbaro’s infatuation with this dynamic lifestyle inevitably led him to the art of surfboard painting at the age of 16. This venture was not merely a pastime, but a platform for Varbaro to blend the raw energy of skateboarding with the intricate detailing of tattoo art, resulting in a distinct style that we celebrate today as “surf art.” His "old school" aesthetics and innovative spirit allowed him to carve a niche that positions him as a forefather in this genre. Through his journey, Martin Varbaro has left an indelible mark on the art world, intertwining sport and creativity in ways that continue to inspire generations.
