She was given several awards, like the Ist Special Mention by Leonardo da Vinci Academy, in 1982. Furthermore she received the Honour Award at Pontifical Palace in 2017 and the Modigliani Prize in 2018. Timothy Warrington has written about her artwork : "Characterised by eccentric and unexpected arrangements, vibrant and peculiar combinations that successfully animate the canvas - this attracts the viewer’s attention as much as the subject matter itself. This talented artist translates her innermost subconscious into pure hues, thus enabling us to experience her magnificent creative talent. The colour palette in Ciullo’s work is central to her approach: fierce, intense and emotional chromatisms highlight the dynamic impetus and elemental balance of the scenes represented, conveying a vital exuberance that reminds us of Matisse, recognised for illustrating his surroundings with bold, unrealistic and utopian colours. Dissonant and wild contrasts of shades express an sentimental intensity that is also reminiscent of André Derain’s compositions which show experimentation with primitive and expressive vibrancy." Her particular way of painting arouse interest in her different techniques, such as: oil on canvas, acrylic on canvas, watercolour, charcoal, India ink, collage, mixed media. She was influenced by modern masters' research. In the ‘80s and ‘90s, Mariesa Ciullo’s paintings were regularly exhibited at Cigarini’s Fine Art Gallery, in Geneva. Today, her artwork is shown in the main European galleries as well as in private art Collections.
