BIO: RAFAEL CASTILLO | RAFAPASTA

I was born in Seville, Spain, in 1989. When I was three years old, my kindergarten teacher called my parents, because I drew the typical house that little children make in isometric perspective.

All the teachers around me told me to pursue art. But everyone else around me decided not to support me for decades.

Still, I faced it all and learned on my own, because when Art calls you:

YOU CAN'T REFUSE IT.

MISSION

I make art because it is my true self. Behind my entire identity is art. I am self-taught, I have learned from great masters and on my own.

I believe that art and imagination are the beginning of human creation. Art spreads ideas and stories, these provoke thoughts and emotions... and these inspire actions. Art shapes reality.

My mission is to paint all the fauna of the planet and cover every temple and sculpture created by man with flowers. My mission is to tell a story that makes us grow, get to know ourselves, grow and expand as much as my body allows me to.

YOU, THE OBSERVER:

Art begins in the hands of the person who makes it, but ends behind the eyes of the person who sees it. There in your imagination, in your feelings.

I want to inspire you , I want to give you energy and transmit to you the emotion and joy that I feel when I work.
