| | About artist: | RAMON CASTELLANO DE TORRES, is born in Ceuta (Spain) on August 31, 1947.
The being son of an excellent draftsman and of an out-standing painter determines, somehow, Ramon to devoting himself to the plastic arts from very early age.
His already long artistic path has projected it from Moron de la Frontera (Seville), where he resides from 1976, removed always from the big cities.
The critics of art are in the habit of cataloguing it as a painter fundamentally expressionist, but, for his long artistic career and for his, wide fan of styles and cultivated technologies, it is extremely risky to do it so categorically.
His painting passes, from the purest and academic realism, with his marine and urban landscapes, up to the hardest abstract expressionism, with his famous juxtapositions of color, and the elegant and studied composition that he develops in all his works, consequently he would be better to define it as an artist of his(h time, I worry and always seeker of new forms of expression.
Ramon Castellano's painting is sustained on two fundamental props: the composition and the color.
His catalogued work, which overcomes the thousand, is very distributed by the Spanish geography and by the rest of the world, specially in Japan, Germany, Argentina, Cuba and The United States.
Such a quantity of works they could have been conference and admired in numerous individual and collective exhibitions, harvesting many awards that reward his brilliant one and prolífera artistic career.

"... " He is Ramon Castellano a painter difficult to fit in a concrete style, of him they have said of his trend expressionist, but seeing and knowing all his work it is very risky to affirm it.
