Marcel Pinas
Biography
Marcel Hendrik Pinas (Pelgrimkondre, March 22, 1971) is a Surinamese artist of Maroon descent. His birthplace is near Moengo, in the Marowijne district, which, along with nearby Moiwana, was at the center of the conflict during the Surinamese Interior War. This heritage plays an important role in Pinas's work, which deals with his own experiences in the past, but also with the destruction of Aukaan culture in Suriname.
