Family (2015 and 2004)

Family is a piece inspired by the wallpaper pattern that decorated Castro´s childhood home. The pattern was faithfully reproduced with blood donated by all the members of Castro’s family, his father, mother and four brothers. Endless images of flowers, branches and leaves intertwine to form a repetitive and subtle pattern across the surface, creating an atmosphere that invites the viewer into an intimate and private space.
