Abi Castillo

Abi Castillo is an illustrator and ceramist from Vigo. She graduated in Fine Arts from the University of Vigo and trained in ceramics at the EMAO.

Ceramics has offered him a world of aesthetic and creative possibilities to give shape and volume to his creatures and characters.

His works maintain a romantic ideal of the natural world, fanciful, as if it were his own garden, and his characters hide clues of humor and drama, always playing with ambiguity.

This ambivalence between mysticism and drama, between the monstrous and the beautiful, is very present throughout his personal project.

She has exhibited her work in venues such as Justmad, Hybrid Art Fair, O! Galería in Porto, and Crackids Lisbon, and collaborated with Zara with her illustrations on the Women in Art project. She recently exhibited her work in Los Angeles with Thinkspace Gallery, with whom she is preparing her next solo exhibition.
