This shark tank, hosting several man-eating sharks, was the scene of a very rare and highly dangerous art project on Sunday. An "extreme" artist, who goes by the name 'Markus', prepared his Instruments before diving into the shark tank in the Barcelona Aquarium to paint a portrait of deceased TV presenter Alvaro Bulto, a famed wingsuit aficionado. TV presenter Bulto died at the age of 51 in a wingsuit accident over the Swiss Alps in 2013 when partaking in his favourite extreme sport, freefalling. Markus explained that he was inspired to do a portrait of Bulto because he felt personally "linked" to the late-TV presenter. Markus is a self-professed extreme artist, which, according to Markus, gives him an affinity with extreme sportsmen. Following its completion the portrait was given to Bulto's family to raise money for charity.
