Victor Castillo Art

Critics

"The rigor in the execution of each of his brushstroke. Color plays extreme possibilities and express intensity for his images. To my particular way of seeing it, these are Victor Castillo's work best characteristics ... facing the results of his work, we can think that he is a spontaneous artist that works thought different bold and elegant techniques. There are no improvisations on any details, where wealth textures are almost tangible for moments as if it were absconding from the canvas to another different dimension... In effect Victor Castillo, becomes out of theatrical fashions and an innovator that offers an aesthetic sense; however this is not a young painter we greet him as a South American painter with transcendent values."

Extract of a critic by Eduardo Gudino Kieffer, author who wrote about Victor Castillo's work in Buenos Aires - Argentina on 1993.

"We are in front of a island painter. His smooth paintings, with authentic color harmonies may not assign to any well-known style that we can see all over. He does not belong any ismo, he is authentic and personal, that is his great merit..."

Extract of the commentary written by the Art critic and commentator of art Professor Mr. Pablo San Segundo Castaneda related to Victor Castillo's work. Miami 2000.

"Who observes Victor Castillo's subject matter, which is so wisely done maybe remember an incomplete symphonic poem, or could believe that his Art exceeds the imagination. His figurative and abstract language is an expression of private rituals that are celebrating his life stages by a variety of symbols – messages that recreate the tiny frame of his canvas. His iconography and the symbolism are related to two strongly categories of representation: the art and the time. He award a particular poetical sense to his pictures where many elements join together: plastic and conceptual, traditional, contemporary local and universal Art. All is important in Victor Castillo's work."
