He was
born in Brusciano (Italy) in 66.
After studying classical
music in the Conservatory of Avellino (Italy), Castaldo went to Holland
to study Jazz music in the Conservatory of Arnhem.
In Holland, inspired by
the way of life, he turned towards another of his passions: contemporary
art.
Castaldo creates contemporanean
paintings and sculptures and other forms of art, often using recycled materials
or materials found in nature.
After 10 years in Holland,
he returns to Italy in 2002. |
| Harry van Gestel, of the
Gallery GAIA in Amsterdam, says about him, that "... we strongly
recommend you to enter into the works of this talented and young contemporanean
artist. It has been a pleasure to know and follow this artist from nearby
during the last 10 years and we have found in him an exceptional desire
to innovate and to explore the fields of painting and sculpture, always
searching the confrontation within the freedom of expression. His last
works show great strength and courage. The story he tells in his artworks
does not need any titles, it will pull you inside the story of his life."
Critics:
Castaldo creates, on a clear
classical italian background, some very coloured jazz impressions, out
of which surge his free expressions.
Sometimes, his delined forms
remind us of some sculptures, an explosion of form and colour for artworks
full of life, music and movement.
