Art Brokerage: Tomas Castano was born in Santander (Spain) in 1953. From an early age he demonstrated a special predisposition towards the drawing, but up to the age of 17 years he did not take up the first paintbrush. Of self-taught formation, he has forged himself, based on tenacity and enthusiasm, being decanted by a style of realistic painting, which he approaches forming constructed, well-drawn compositions. Worrying about the composition and the drawing, he controls the perspective and also the powers that have led him to reaching the landscape painter's status, characterized by his architectural work. He has shown his work in collective exhibitions for several countries: Germany, Holland, France, Argentina, Japan, Italy and numerous individual and collective exhibitions. He has represented to Cantabria in the Biennial one of Florence in 2005. His work is recognized by the peculiar style and the environment that he creates, most recently in his series of old taverns.
