Enrique Castro was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1938. From very early age he started to draw and when he was 13 years old he illustrated a cover based on a novel. For about 15 years he worked in many well known advertising firms like Walter-Thompson, McCann Erickson, etc. During that period he made his first trip to USA. An admirer of the American illustrators such as Rockwell, N.C.Wyeth, Charles Dana Gibson, Maxfield Parrish, etc., he received their influence.

Back in Argentina he settled in the countryside, and bred polo ponies for 15 years. And at the same time he managed a racing horses stud farm. Not satisfied with his technical level, he spent 8 years with a great Argentinean painter Miguel Caride that meant a turning point in his career.

He begun to exhibit his horses and won several first prizes.

Commissioned works started to pour in. Including from USA Bob Kieckeford former President of The American Quarter horse Association asked for his art and portrayed horses of his property. He exhibited in Saratoga many times, Lexington, Louisville, Manhattan (Wally Findlay), Palm Beach Polo (Chisholm Gallery), Lafayette, California (Pacific Wild Life) etc.

The time was ripe for London. He worked for 20 years at the Tryon Gallery, and became one of the most popular artists of the gallery selling over 300 paintings until it was sold in 1999. His action works in polo and racing are auctioned at Sotheby's and Christies in sporting paintings sales. He is always grateful to former owners of that gallery.

In fact he considers them as true friends. He learnt a lot about the international market and they gave him the clues to achieve excellence.

It was at Tryon that he developed his technique of "oil on paper".

Three years ago Benjamin Hall Vice President of Old Masters at Sotheby's, paid a visit to his studio to buy a racing scene executed with that technique. He was quite amazed. The Marchioness of Tavistock, through his son Lord Howland commissioned racing paintings for her more than 200 years old

Stylish & sturdy 3 floating shelves
Size: 11.6"D x 15.7"W, Color: Black, Size: 11.6"D x 15.7"W, Color: Black
I bought these 12-inch deep floating shelves for my son’s room and they turned out great. The extra depth makes a big difference compared to standard floating shelves. He’s able to fit books, trophies, and some of his collectibles on them without everything feeling cramped. The shelves feel sturdy and well made once installed. The hardware that came with them worked well, and they sit flush against the wall which gives that nice clean floating look. They really helped add storage while also making the room look more organized and put together. I added lights underneath which I also bought here on Amazon... I also like that they’re deep enough to actually be functional, not just decorative. My son is using them every day and they’re holding up really well. Overall I’m very happy with this purchase and would definitely buy them again for another room.

Good looking shelves
Size: 11.6"D x 15.7"W, Color: Black, Size: 11.6"D x 15.7"W, Color: Black
These shelves turned out perfect for my bedroom project! I read lots of reviews about people having trouble with the wall anchors not holding up, but I’m going to equate that to user error. I had no trouble installing these and even took a couple shortcuts. I only used two wall anchors per shelf, but also pre checked the holes for studs. I used one dry wall screw per shelf as well. Knowing how wall anchors can be, I used one drill bit size smaller than the directions suggested. They said use 1/4, but I used 15/64. Probably could have gotten away with one smaller than that at 7/32. With all screws, I made sure not to press too hard into the wall and just turn the screw. That helps the anchors and threads stay snug in the dry wall. There was only one shelf that came out feeling a little saggy, but I think it’s because the holes in the shelf are not quite right. However, it still holds strong and no problem with a box of shoes on it. All this being said, I pre weighed my shoe boxes and knew I only needed to hold about 5-7 lbs. I was super detailed with measuring the bracket spots to make sure everything was spaced and leveled appropriately. The wood on the shelves does feel a little cheap, but it looks great so I couldn’t care less. I would purchase these shelves again and might have to as my display collection continues to grow.

I put these shelves in a strange little cubby that was created in my kitchen by removing the sad excuse for a pantry that was once there. Super easy to hang, I’ve only hung two here and have other plans for the 3rd one. Good purchase for sure. Very sturdy and look expensive, without the high cost.
