I am self-taught artist.
My paintings reflect creative visions in representational forms.
I prefer vibrant colors, simplicity and contrast to express the magic I see in the subjects I paint.
Ana del Castillo Bio
Artist Ana del Castillo started oil painting in her fifties when a work colleague invited her to an art class. There she learned the basics while painting - her favorite way to grasp any new skill, by doing. She discovered that capturing realistic images in oil - such as the painting included here, came naturally to her. She was captivated by the possibilities.
Her paintings start with a vision, an impulse to paint driven by an overwhelming feeling of beauty about something or someone, and she doesn't rest until she is able to seize what she saw in her mind's eye.
