Marina Amaral (born in 1994) is a Brazilian artist known for her colorizations of historical black and white photographs.

A self-taught artist, she was an international relations student in college,[2] but dropped out in April 2015 to pursue art full-time.

[3][4] Amaral's creative process involves adding color to black and white photographs using Photoshop, following careful historical research to determine the colors of each object pictured.

[1][5] Amaral describes what she does as providing a "second perspective" as the pictures with color convey images that do not seem too far removed from the contemporaneous viewer.

[12] In 2017, Amaral was the illustrator for historian Dan Jones' book, The Colour of Time: A New History of the World, 1850–1960.
