Gustavo Castillo

From an early age, Gustavo discovered art as a language capable of preserving emotion, memory, and spirituality. His visual practice began with ballpoint-pen drawing, a technique he adopted in childhood and developed independently into a highly refined form of hyperrealism rich in both technical and symbolic depth. What began as a material limitation evolved into his artistic signature: transforming the everyday into the extraordinary. Over time, his work expanded into painting, sculpture, installation, and ceramics, forming a cohesive creative universe in which each discipline engages in organic dialogue with the others.
