A design professor for Spain’s most prestigious companies for over 20 years, Kastro devotes his efforts to technological creations geared toward avant-garde and innovative art environments, where his installations can be seen in Barcelona through interactive and tactile works. In his visual art, he has developed a self-taught body of work. A great connoisseur and follower of abstract expressionist movements in his early career, his works display strong elements of tachism and informalism, though his later work reveals a very different approach to understanding contemporary abstract art. A tireless explorer of materials and elements, he experiments—depending on the moment and the form—with materials, textures, and even structures, leading him to create pieces intended to convey distinct feelings and emotions to everyone. He founded Maculae in 2018 with the goal of creating a small group of artists from various disciplines, focused on sharing artistic experiences and complementing the national art market. His work is found throughout Europe. He has organized various exhibitions nationwide, developed in collaboration with the Madrid Association of Decorators and Interior Designers (CODDIM), as well as LUMINARIA 3, an international exhibition of contemporary art. Kastro’s work is found in more than 40 countries, and his approach to his craft typically involves constantly researching new materials and media to explore new forms of expression.
