Roger Castro was born in Denver Colorado and moved to Los Angeles when he was 13. He has always loved art and history. Roger now works as a freelance graphic and web designer. During his several years of professional experience he has specialized in print work and web layout design including logos, custom artwork, illustration, business cards, brochures, advertisements and posters.
Roger Castro’s artworks are mainly abstract and he has been greatly inflienced by surrealictic painters such as Dali. His other favorite artists are Matisse and Van Gogh. As with many abstract artists one has a realization through his canvases, that abstract art can be even more personal than figurative art. Abstraction has a deeper meaning to the artist because the image has a hidden appeal that the viewer has yet to discover. The artist’s personal relationship to the subject is expressed through the abstraction, yet the observer has no other starting point than the abstract itself, and must find his/her relationship through the color, form and composition.
Is it necessary to have some idea of what the artist was trying to do have a good appreciation of the artwork? Representational art deals in familiar shapes, that evoke familiar responses in each viewer, however, the more abstract a painting, the less clues there are as to the artist’s thinking and the more difficult our comprehension of his/her intent.
Much of Robert’s work contains figurative elements, discernable human shapes immersed into shapes, colors and thick textures which in their own right provoke an emotional response.
There is a sense of beauty defined within the linear and the swirling, explosive colors which draws the viewer into the canvas to discover more recognizable forms through which to deconstruct the abstract.
Examples of Roger Castro’s graphic work have been widely printed in commercial publications and his designs incorporated into numerous internet websites. Not having fixed objects that you can associate with reality, the viewer becomes in tune with other things, like color, shape and form.
