about
Marcos Viñals Bassols studied scenography at the Visual Arts School La Cambre in Brussels, Belgium, and graduated with a Master of Fine Arts degree in 1994.
Over the past 25 years he has been creating scenic and exhibition designs in Europe and abroad. In 1998, he was awarded the Belgian Theatre Award for Best Scenographer. His unique vision led to four additional nominations for this award.
Marcos expresses his visual poetry and meaningful vision by crafting stunning scenic environments for large-scale shows, events, exhibitions, and experiences.
As a scenic designer, he has collaborated closely with renowned stage directors such as Franco Dragone, the celebrated creative director of Cirque du Soleil, and Franz Marijnen, a renowned theater director, on numerous productions worldwide.
As a scenographer and art director, Marcos has conceived, designed, and directed world-class shows and events in various countries across Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, amassing extensive experience in storytelling and stage direction.
Since 1999, Marcos has also created exhibition designs for a wide array of touring and permanent exhibitions and museums throughout Europe.
The fusion of these two distinct practices – show design and stage direction on one hand, and exhibition and museum design on the other – has positioned him as a leading expert in crafting immersive and interactive experiences.
