Vincent Castiglia

Vincent, in the privacy of his studio, practices a kind of modern day phlebotomy, siphoning the life force which contains his own psychic energy and transforms it into a creative outlet.

[1] His work is heavily focused on the symbiosis of birth and death, the transience of human beings the pitfalls of mortality and Mysticism.

The creative process is very honest and cathartic for me, and is an intermingling of feelings and experiences, aspirations and visions, all spontaneously congealing on the canvas.

[3]Castiglia's paintings are described as "monochromatic tableaux examining life, death, and the human condition" on his official website.

[4] In 2010, Castiglia's art was featured on the official poster for the MTV New Media Horror-Slasher Film, Savage County.

[7]In 2018, a documentary film directed by John Borowoski, titled "Bloodlines: The Art and Life of Vincent Castiglia", was released.
