BLACK AND WHITE PICTURES RESTORED IN GREATER DETAIL IN COLOUR BY A BRAZILIAN MARINA AMARAL - THE COLOR PICTURES COMES TO LIFE THE STRUGGLES AND PERSONAL SACRIFICE OF THE INDIVIDUAL FOR THE GREATER GOOD FOR MANKIND TO BEAR WITNESS

When Marina Amaral looks at a black-and-white photograph, she doesn’t see 50 shades of grey. She sees the true colours of the scene captured by the photographer – sometimes more than a century ago – and she sets about recreating them.
Amaral is a 22-year-old Brazilian artist whose digital colourisations of iconic black-and-white images have become an internet sensation. Her work breathes new life into old pictures, stripping away the years and giving them an astonishing immediacy.
