We’re excited to introduce you to the always interesting and insightful Dcastro Castro . We hope you’ll enjoy our conversation with Dcastro below.
Dcastro , thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. We’d love to hear about a project that you’ve worked on that’s meant a lot to you.
One achievement that I am most proud of and that has added levels of meaning to my work is an original and unique technique that I developed. Witnessing a minimal, black and white drawing unexpectedly and suddenly bloom with color can be quite astonishing, My artwork achieves this effect when the amount of light the painting is exposed to . But what makes my art unique isn’t just this new technique developed by me , I’ve also created e new stile and e new art philosophy . The new Stile makes the viewers witness by optical illusion , movements an tridimensional effects. The new philosophy consists of seven elements: modernity, contemporaneity, innocence, simplicity, spirituality, happiness and poetry. This Trinity made my artwork definitely unique enough to be featured in the New York Times and numerous popular Hollywood TV shows such as Star Trek, Quantum Leap, Califonication ,House of Lies, CSI Cyber LA , Training Day and others .( as background for star as David Duchovny and Patrick Stewart).
Dcastro , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?

I created an impressive collection of artworks in this time period , I did also exhibited in several galleries an I have dozens of collectors worldwide . I’ve been opening my art studio and providing a unique art experience which makes people chocked .
What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?
For me there are many rewarding aspects of being an artist , but one that makes me most grateful is that through art we can touch people deeply, allowing them to recognize feelings that are capable of transforming them from within , increasing their inspiration and creativity with are genuine and inherent to each human being
Any resources you can share with us that might be helpful to other creatives?
With technological advancement , many resources have emerged that facilitate development in all areas of human activity , and in the art sphere it was not different , new painting types , new paper types innovated art materials and digital art techniques have emerged. However , I started from the principle that instead of advancing with these new developments I decided to create something that would go in the opposite way of these advances . I developed a unique and innovative art technique that did not require any technological resources such as new types os paints , special light or spacial glasses , not even any type of electricity or batteries but that would make a simple minimalist drawing made with just graphite pencil on a white canvas transforms into a fully colored painting using only natural light . in the eyes of the observer images and vibrant color appear like magic , leaving those whom experiencing intrigued and shock .
