Agustin Castillo “born in the City of San Jose, California, and living most of his life in Mexico” is influenced culturally by both countries. With a Degree in Graphic Design in 1987 in Mexico, Agustin initiates his process of professional development working as Freelance Designer for different Advertising Agencies, working side by side in his art. In 1997, he taught as professor in the area of design and art in different universities and institutes of art in the City of Torreón, Coahuila, Mexico. 1999, Agustin Castillo began to exhibit his work in different states of Mexico and in the United States. Taking part in several experimenting art workshops in Barcelona, Spain, Agustin Castillo finds no limitations in his way of expression, exploring a mix of techniques that brings a unique visual encounter.
Always trying to develop the concepts that would help to canalize his emotions, ideas, and visual interpretations, his work is amazingly crafted using different types of materials and methods, building layer upon layer of paint and textures, Agustin Castillo achieves to create powerful and colorful artwork. He says about his own work: “The concept of development is essentially based on the interrelation between color and texture inside the same space, just as the intention of suggesting that different states of mind are brought together with the spontaneity of the moment. This is how color takes on its own existence inside the different compositions creating its own interest, as the texture is based on the union of different materials creating an energy that invades the spectator.I believe in leaving each piece of art untitled because I consider that titles could be limiting for the spectator where the intention is to create an emotional link between the work, composition, color and the spectator in a direct and natural form.
