Daniel Castellanos

About

Daniel Castellanos is an artist whose work happens between media. By reading and showing their messages, he points out their perversion (art as spirituality). The way he does it is by intuition, humor and approaching to everyday life. Some of the media he uses are: Drawing, Photography, Light (neon), Painting, Video and Video Installation (as a way to incorporate the human condition into media).

Massive self & media created images make our bodies incorporate symbolic violence. These images are silent but saturate us through time. Nowadays, when the body and old institutions are falling apart; the age of accumulation is becoming omnipresent due to a virtual self-revolution by subjects and users of new technologies and media. The boundaries of the body are being pushed in a way that reality seems blurred and incomprehensible.
