Thomas Anthony Gallery
Richell Castellon Ferreira is a Cuban-born Impressionist Artist based in the United States. His paintings represent a moment in time, they are filled with energy and spontaneity that also reflect an acute sense of observation. Castellon paints with a loose style, improvisatory in feel, while maintaining a strong sense of place in each of his paintings. All of his paintings exude a powerful sensitivity to the light or movement within a scene. In some paintings he provides an unresolved narrative, and in others it is simply about a naturally occurring play of lines, shapes, and patterns within an urban landscape. In all of his paintings there is an infusion of light and movement be it within a fully rendered color palette or within restrained tones of gray, black, and white. "I try to capture the emotion of the scene, I want people to hear the painting. The details are not important. It is the overall effect."
