    In 1982 Marcos López received a grant from the Fondo Nacional de las Artes and abandoned his engineering studies in order to dedicate himself fully to photography.

His work has been exhibited internationally, including the Museum of Photography, Charleroi and ICP, New York. His work is held in many institutions including Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Buenos Aires and Museo Reina Sofía, Madrid.
