Castor Fernandez
Painter - Sculptor - Set Designer

Castor Fernandez, born in Bordeaux, France, and raised in Galicia, Spain, has made Canada his home for most of his life, residing first in Montreal and later in Vancouver. Describing himself as an interdisciplinary artist doesn't quite capture the breadth of his artistic endeavors—he's a painter, sculptor, set designer, and a passionate experimenter across all mediums. Whether it's oils and acrylics or unconventional materials, he's drawn to exploring diverse techniques, from landscapes to still lifes, abstracts, whimsical pieces, or enigmatic surrealist works.

Castor's artistic journey has seen him create pieces as small as 3 inches square to as large as 9 feet square. While he initially found comfort in the style of the Impressionists, his relentless curiosity has propelled him into exploring various styles, even delving into calligraphy.

Art has been more than a passion for Castor; it's been a lifeline. Initially a personal pursuit, it evolved into a form of therapy during his darkest moments. The act of creation, of giving shape to his thoughts and emotions, has been profoundly cathartic. Completing his Bachelor's degree at Concordia University in Montreal, he began sharing his work publicly, spurred on by the encouragement of peers and friends.

Collectors have shown a great interest in Castor’s artwork for its beauty and also investment opportunity. His fan base has been expanding across Canada, and in recent years internationally as well.
