Maria Carpino

Maria Carpino, known professionally as Marilù, primarily uses ballpoint pen as her medium of expression, though she also explores other media such as acrylic, ink, or chalk. This personal transformation marked the beginning of her artistic journey, enriched by experiences in Gerardo Lo Russo's studio and a solid background in psychology. Her technique is based on DoodleFlow: a spontaneous, immediate gesture in which the line emerges without premeditation, allowing forms to manifest freely, often unexpectedly, in a continuous dialogue between chaos and order. Her works convey authenticity, introspection, and the vibrant energy of the original gesture, which becomes visible emotion.
