Luis Ricardo Castillo´s work could border between light semi abstract to diffused adjusted abstract. The style of work would have to be abstract in the form of adjusted diffusion, color fusion and tonal balance, connected by line and color reflection balance. These metamorphic-like forms are surrounded in both limited space as in a closed room, and unlimited free space, as in infinity.

Ricardo Castilla , an artist from Bogotà, who uses simple shapes . oriented towards representation of the object with a chromatic intensity that projects it to a space of poetic atmosphere where we seem to observe that certain serenity that characterizes his art
.
It is the conjugation of these simple elements that have made Ricardo Castillo’s contribution to the visual arts in Colombia, one of the most imaginative of all , the nature of pigment, and shifting perspective. The paint texture is palpable and thin lines dart across and rupture the solid ground. Castillo often begins with a simple object or area.

In his series "Chairs, couplings and other ways of dwelling" the simple becomes more and more complex to convey energy and movement through the optical vibration of light on static forms. Castillo uses a vocabulary of simple reductive forms to create works with a strong and direct physical presence.

He was invited by the Bogotá Museum of Modern Art (Mambo) to the “Mambo Spring”, an exhibit of the most important Colombian artists.
