Did you ever dream of sailing? Alvaro Castagnets painting call me forth for living in the sea. Does he paint the life of people living in the sea? No, he doesn't but his paintings always yearn me to want more, the hunger keeps rising. To me, the colors of his paintings dance around creating a vibrant atmosphere imitating the natural. Near the coast lines, it is many a times I yearn to visualize his art into reality while enjoying the taste of that imagination. Not everybody will make you feel the same, only few will. Alvaro does. By one of his marvelous painting, I have imitated this piece of art. I hope you enjoy the combo of color and shadow in this painting.
