"Ana Castillo works from photographs developing her own unique and autodidact style.

 

A detailed, raw and bold signature that make her representation of bodies and objects out of control, mastering narrative vivid spirals of cathartic energy.

 

Her work is a contemporary reflection of our world of lighted blue screens mixed up with her own psychic, fantasies, stories, and experiences."
