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.

Working with Julian was a smooth and pleasant experience!

After recently moving, we decided to purchase a special art piece for our new home, and after seeing Julian’s creations we knew we were talking to the right person! Julian delivered the Onda piece himself.

It fit in so perfectly into our home, tying together our color scheme and the beautiful views of the beach it overlooks.

We’ve been complimented on it numerous times by guests. We even setup a display light to bring it more to life.

We already have our eyes set on other pieces for future rooms in our home.

​When Julian first offered his work for sale I found a painting that I loved. The painting is unusual because of the technique Julian uses to move the paint around the canvas and bring the painting to life!

The second piece I brought from Julian incorporates all the colors of the pastoral environment in which it was created.

Both paintings bring joy to my soul and I am pleased to have them in my collection!

Julian’s painting is very special for me. He did a custom piece featuring a special story about my solo row across the Pacific in 2020. We auctioned it on social, with proceeds going to a nonprofit that I run. Then I was lucky enough that the winner gave me the painting, and it’s been on my wall ever since

It was clear from the start that Julian puts all care into both his art and the buying process. The certificate of authenticity that comes with it is a valuable touch that verifies the piece’s history, and the whole experience was smooth and professional. I hope to have this painting the rest of my life.
