Exhibition “Taller necesario” 2020
Although it formally started on January 1, 2012; From a very young age, Cristóbal Castro Olivas showed an interest in the arts. The constant concern to learn and perfect his technique led him to create the plastic language that we can see in this exhibition.
His sensory capacity, the active work in the discipline of architecture and the continuous study of art history have had an important influence in defining his creative process and being able to achieve the discourse contained in the exhibition. “Taller Necessary” is an expressive response to the need to communicate to the viewer another point of view about reality.
Through this, the face of his inner development appears, carrying in his hand the light, the color and in the line, the craft.
