Enrique Castanon Art

Enrique Castanon professes to be a colorist and an emotional painter at heart. Though the formal qualities in art interest him, he has reached a point where he no longer considers at length these detals, but instead paints as a storyteller in the abstract does, beginning at the beginning and perhaps, not thinking about where it will end. Energy is contained in the somewhat square composition, allowing the rich combinations of colors and forms to be read in a variety of angles and positions. This is the dynamism in Castanon's art, that it does not begin anywhere in particular and instead, throws the viewer right into the midst of a happening, a circumstance, a heady charge.
