Casto Albarracin

THE ARTIST

Casto Albarracin

Spanish painter born in Murcia in 1992, based in Montpellier. Trained as an architect, I paint the way you build: structure first, emotion next.

My world blends expressive figuration and abstraction: pop portraits, stylised crowds, bulls and the light of the South — from the Camargue to Murcia. Every canvas seeks a presence, an immediate emotion.

All my works are one-of-a-kind, hand-painted in acrylic. I also paint on commission, tailored to each person's space and story.

INTERVIEW

Five questions to the artist

Why do you paint?

To capture emotions and make them visible. I like creating strong images, sometimes ironic, always human.

What does your architecture background bring?

A sense of composition. Even in a spontaneous gesture there's a structure behind it — that's what gives the canvas its strength.

How would you describe your style?

Contemporary, between figurative and abstract: strong contrasts, intense colour and a free gesture.

Your influences?

Picasso, above all: Spanish roots, the south of France, and a constant working energy.

Do you paint on commission?

Yes, gladly. Custom pieces, designed for each person's space, colours and story.
