about claudia castillo
Claudia Castillo Quintana
Claudia Castillo, a Colombian-born artist, studied at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana in Bogotá and furthered her artistic education at the Art Institute of Fort Lauderdale, the Finishing School in New York, and the National University of Colombia. Inspired by the great masters, Claudia Castillo's work is a powerful expression of emotions evoked by nature, earth, and water. Through instinctive compositions of color and form, she creates a unique realism that reflects continual change. Claudia's art maintains deep emotional resonance, capturing the essence of her personal journey and connection to the world.
She founded Claudia Castillo ART studio, an art gallery in Wilton Manors | Ft. Lauderdale showcasing a variety of original artwork, sculptures, gifts, accessories, jewelry and collectables. The gallery focuses on Claudia Castillo's artwork and established and emerging artists. Claudia’s artwork has been exhibited internationally in Italy, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Greece, London, Spain, Korea, and Japan.
