A design instructor for Spain’s most prestigious companies for over 10 years, Castro devotes his efforts to technological creations geared toward avant-garde and innovative art environments, where his installations—including interactive and tactile works—can be seen in Barcelona. 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 high degrees of tachism and informalisme, 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 can be 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.
