Who is Marie Cilu

Marie Cilu comes from a foundation of pure pleasure and happiness, she's a bit ornery, a bit ragey, and says a lot of fuck this.

She’s the creator that lives in the dark and the light.

She’s the channel, the oracle, the visionary, the voice.

I share pieces that reflect my mind and my mood - some are combined with stories, either long or short, fiction or memoir. If I think it’s important that you know which is which, I’ll tell you. Otherwise, you can decide for yourself.

I don’t owe you an explanation for my art, my writing, or my silence. I say this to manage your expectations. Learn to live with the disappointment.

I will create things that I want to see.
I will be as raw or fake as I want.

I will be the whole complicated, contradictory, and uncategorizable human I am.

 

Pronounced [MUH] + [REE] [SEE] + [LOU]
No, Marie Cilu isn’t my real name. It’s a mashup and you shouldn’t read into it or assume any ethnicity, race, or origin. It’s pretty. It flowed from my lips. It lit up my brain and made me happy.
