Curriculum Vitae

Flo Drake del Castillo
Paris, France. 1976
Painting / Drawing / Collage

What I paint is influenced by today’s realities. I capture precise and spontaneous moments in time that can constantly be reproduced. People, faces, theirs expressions what they conduct, but also urban landscapes and the subjectivity they embody, have always inspired, intrigued and fascinated me.

My work compiles numerous itineraries, at different moments in time, of the many cities and countries transited. I rivet states of minds and collect the items that surround me to build up my own interpretation of the space. I register an existential memory in order to approach a certain time and circumstance of a particular place and moment in time, to then testify and document it.
