Marcus Vinícius da Silva Bernardo (born 1969), professionally known as Marcus Baby, is a Brazilian plastic artist. In the 1990s, he created 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 was a doll of Alinne Moraes' character in Viver a Vida, a Brazilian telenovela.[1] He gained media attention when he refused to sell a doll he had created in the likeness of Hebe Camargo.[2]
Barbie Dilma,[3] his doll of Dilma Rousseff, then President of Brazil, was released right after her inauguration in January 2011, and became the best-known of his dolls.[4][5][6]
