Marcus Vinícius da Silva Bernardo, best known by his nickname Marcus Baby, is a Brazilian plastic artist. In the 1990s, he decided to create his sculptures using child dolls and action figures (such as Barbie) as a base for his art.
In November 2005, he began creating dolls in the likeness of celebrities. His first work to attract significant media attention was a doll of Alinne Moraes' character in Viver a Vida, a Brazilian telenovela.[1] He also gained media attention when he refused to sell a doll he had created in the likeness of Hebe Camargo.[2]
His doll of Dilma Rousseff, the President of Brazil, was released right after her January 2011 inauguration. Named, "Barbie Dilma,"[3] it has become the best-known of his dolls.[4][5][6]
