A multi-awarded and critically acclaimed Filipino visual artist, Del Castillo has been noted for playing with the themes of war and religion, childhood and lost innocence, and the transformation of meaning through time. In series dealing with warfare in multimedia works and ancient and contemporary icons in gold leaf paintings, his intention has been said: “to showcase the similarities of belief towards achieving peace, which is the precedent of war or vice versa.” By accomplishing such feats, he has been said to communicate the essence of transformation, technological advancement, and enlightenment by creating culturally informed imagery. Meanwhile, others see his work as symbolic of rigid modernity where “life is a lackluster cycle.” Source: Anton Del Castillo. 2018. Retrieved November 2, 2019. http:// antondelcastillo.com/about/.
