Claudio Castillo

Claudio Castillo creates "living paintings" whose images endlessly mutate in a nonlinear progression in which no single image will ever be precisely repeated -- atleast, not for hundreds of thousands of years. The worlds of painting, animation, and computer programming conspire together in a subtly subversive take on software art. The watercolor image has traditionally existed as a unique original, along with the possibilities for its reproduction. Software art has often focused on generating complex images that mirror the endless variables made possible by computer coding. In his work, Mr. Castillo has found a way to marry these opposing practices by choosing to embed software in dreamlike, poetic watercolor landscapes.
