Browse Available WorkI commissioned a painting from Julian, and it was a great experience. I remember showing him the wall it would go on, and he drew inspiration from the place, room, and energy.
My painting was done on a custom-built canvas with a unique concave shape that adds movement and light, bringing elegance and serenity to my living space.
Julian is professional yet genuine, thinking beyond the physical pieces always giving them meaning beyond what greets the eye, his talent shines through in his work.
My wife Susan and I own a lot of art. In fact, so many pieces that we can no longer display more than half of them as we recently downsized from a very large house to a very small apartment. Much of our collection includes work from internationally recognized artists but among the original art that we chose to display are two wonderful paintings that we purchased from Julian Castro.
Not only are these paintings beautiful, actually stunning, but doing business with Julian is an absolute pleasure. It’s easy to communicate with him, he delivered the art well wrapped, provided advice on placement, and complete documentation of authenticity. I would be happy to answer any questions from potential buyers and share any photos of our pieces. edmichaelson@gmail.com
I recently had the opportunity to commission a piece of art, and I must say, it was an incredibly rewarding experience from start to finish. From the moment I reached out to Julian, I felt a genuine connection and excitement about the collaboration.
The initial consultation was enlightening. Julian took the time to understand my vision, preferences, and colors I hoped to capture in the artwork. We discussed style, colors, and vision, and I appreciated how open and receptive he was to my idea. It felt like a true partnership, where my input was valued and encouraged.
As Julian began working on the piece, he provided updates and sneak peeks, which heightened my anticipation. I loved seeing the evolution of the artwork and the artist's creative process. It was fascinating to witness how my vision was transformed into something tangible and beautiful.
When the final piece arrived, I was absolutely thrilled. The artwork exudes a captivating luminescence, enhancing the ambiance of the hallway beneath the pendant lamps. Its vibrant colors and intricate details seem to come alive in the soft light, creating a striking focal point at the end of the hallway. The glow not only draws the eye but also adds a warm, inviting atmosphere.
Overall, commissioning art with Julian was an enriching experience that not only resulted in a stunning piece for my collection but also deepened my appreciation for the artistic process. I wholeheartedly recommend commissioning artwork with Julian to anyone looking to add a personal touch to their space. It’s a unique journey that celebrates creativity and collaboration, and the outcome is a one-of-a-kind treasure to cherish for years to come.
My commissioned pieces from Julian were intentionally chosen as Dream Portals to bring the peace, wonder, and joy I was seeking in my bedroom.
I loved the conversations with him as we co-created these pieces of art.
Can’t recommend him highly enough, ultra-talented, huge heart for his craft, and driven to create art that his clients love. Can’t wait to put more original Castros in my home.
