Marco Antonio Soria
NFT Artist
Marco is a digital artist and illustrator based out of Mexico City. His artwork’s post-modern pop realism flavor is derived from his use of bold, hyper-digital colors, idiosyncratic shading, and abstract concepts. His unique images have been featured on websites like Art Connect and in magazines like Wow Art Catalogue.
Marco is the artist behind Astrolith’s First NFT Collection, “Celestial Fire Bosses,” and its marketing content. He thoughtfully brought Taryn and Lisa’s concept to life through his creativity, expertise, and belief in the vision of the company.
