ALVARO CASTAGNET
Uruguay
Art has always been a driving force in my life, as I grew up in, South America
Where as a child I used to draw and paint for fun, until it became almost an obses-
sion.
It was my father that recognized my art abilities and encouraged me to study, under
many legendary Uruguayan Artists.
But it was in Melbourne, Australia where I further developed my love for watercolors,
and a strong urge for painting, drift me into becoming a professional artist.
I always wanted “more” than what my eyes could see….. I wanted to reflect the mood,
the atmosphere, the ambience of the subject…. I wanted to reach the “soul” , the
magic of the chosen subject.
My style has been described as passionate, spontaneous, flamboyant and powerful.
I am an expressive painter; always exploring and pursuing a strong interpretation of
light effects.
I enjoy stretching the boundaries of traditional art, and the medium, trying my har-
dest to do it with honesty and integrity.
Portraying the abstract side of life is the driving force of my work.
