Carlo Lo Biundo attended the State Institute of Art in Monreale, where he received his high school diploma in 1988. He then graduated in decoration from the Palermo Academy of Fine Arts in 1993. During his years at the academy, his research was oriented towards abstract expressionism, with a particular exploration of landscapes. For some time, his research underwent a change that moved towards a new element: man and the sphere of memory linked to him. Since 1995, he has taught engraving techniques at the Academies of Fine Arts in Palermo and in Catania.
(Untitled) Carlo Lo Biundo’s print is a concentration of structural forces, emerging and opposing volumes on different planes, and lights introduced to reveal his fantasy world. In the construction of this work, a structure of marks predominates in which a network of lines is concentrated, arranged according to a repetitive order designed to augment the composition’s three-dimensional effect. In fact, when the line thickens into a tight intersection of lines, the shaded areas accentuate the parts in which the "mesh" is wider where light penetrates.

(Untitled) Lo Biundo's work is directed towards an investigation of man, the human body, and the sphere of memory linked to him. His works from this period focus on an evocation of the human presence that is perceived in a dense interweaving of marks and undefined, almost unfinished forms. Among these, parts of the human body are perceived that escape immediate recognition. The figures re-emerge from the chaos of the convulsive line through the chiaroscuro that molds them in light and shadow, creating a sinuous movement and softness to the curves.
