About
Italian artist Marina Ester Castaldo creates vivid, imaginary landscapes that merge emotion with memory. Drawing inspiration from the bold colors and contrasts of her southern Italian roots, her work blends rich, saturated tones with simple, striking forms to capture the beauty and feeling of everyday life.
Based in London, Marina works across both traditional and digital media, favoring acrylic and gouache on paper and canvas. Her process is intuitive: each painting begins with a single color or line and unfolds organically, guided by instinct and exploration rather than preconception. Through the interaction of color and form, she builds dreamlike spaces that invite viewers into imagined worlds—secret places that feel at once familiar and new.
Marina’s work resonates internationally, celebrated for its emotional depth, vibrant energy, and distinctive style. Every painting is both a journey and an invitation: a personal path into landscapes of memory, imagination and quiet joy.
