Miguel Angel Castrillo Fernandez
"Starting from a need, I create compositions that exist not only on the canvases I give life to but also in a dimension that grows silently between those who contemplate my work and I.
When that connection is established between people and my work, in such a dimension things happen and those things free us from the heavy slab of responsibility, the mistakes we make, or the feeling of guilt that for whatever reason we humans bear sooner or later.
All those figures that I first draw and then delicately paint with oils can be found in very different scenes of nowadays life, normally inspired in its form by the Renaissance movement.
Of course in my artwork, I give great prominence and leadership to the human figure because it is towards people that the message of hope that relates my life to art and what I paint with my life, is addressed."

This self-portrait represents the feeling of being left with nothing, naked in the face of the consequences of the current pandemic; And the need to point someone or something as responsible as a first reaction.

Represented in this painting are some of the most basic human instincts that oppose the civilized world; We can see that they are present in many places in the world. Violence and the rejection of what is different with destruction as its most direct consequences.

In a changing world in which technology is becoming increasingly important and necessary, with this painting I try to reflect on the lack of attention paid by a girl towards pets or a toy. The good balance between the use of technology and contact with the natural world is what this oil claims.

With this painting of a young pregnant woman, I want to reflect the fragility
of a pregnancy in the face of nature and the other forms of life. At the same time, I try to show the supreme importance that the future baby has for her mother, whom she holds on her belly tattooed with the symbol of peace knowing that the baby will be born in a not always peaceful world dominated by men.

Oil on canvas. 45,5 X 54.5 cm
With this painting I try to show the confusion that children could feel in the face of the large amount of information they receive through images, news, teachings, etc. and the remarkable incoherence that sometimes exists between the values they are taught and the attitude of the adults who make the world a hostile place or at least a place where living is usually not easy.

With this painting inspired by * Saturn devouring his son * by Goya , I try to reveal the darkest and most primitive side of the human species through the question of whether or not we are designed to be vegetarians and what are the reasons that lead us to feed on some species and not others.

Oil on canvas

With this double image of Aphrodite I want to claim the importance of social acceptance of love between women. This painting is a small tribute to Mediterranean cultures and their legacy. It is also a personal way of giving thanks for being able to live on the shores of this sea.
