"Triptico - Granada" by Nicaraguan artist Salvador CastilloI'm sorry to say that my timing is terrible -- if you haven't already gone, you have missed the exhibition of work by Salvador Castillo at Codice Gallery! But if you have another opportunity, try to go to see his very interesting and creative work!
Sr. Castillo was born in Managua in 1958, and was educated at Colegio Calasanz and finished an architecture degree at UNAN in Managua. He has also attended the Escuela de Artes Plasticas, working with artist Fernando Saravia. In 1997 and 1999, he participated in La Bienal de Pintura Nicaraguense Fundacion Ortiz-Guardian. In addition, in 1998, he was part of a joint exhibition including the master artists Armando Morales and Federico Nordalm at the opening of the Galeria Pleyades in Managua. Over the course of his career, he has participated in many solo and joint exhibitions in Central America, North America, South America and Europe.
One of the most fascinating aspects of Salvador Castillo's work is his ability to paint in different styles with the same degree of expertise and success in artistic interpretation. His subjects are versatile, and span landscapes, nudes, traditional themes, and modern interpretations. In the photo of his work above, he has formed a collage of different monuments of a Granada, rearranging them to bring his own interpretation to the canvas!
