Description
This artwork presents a surreal juxtaposition of classical and natural elements. On the left, a marble bust of a classical figure stands prominently against a backdrop of towering cacti, set under a vibrant, deep blue sky. The contrast between the ancient and the organic forms is stark, emphasizing the timelessness and alien beauty of both subjects. On the right, a wider scene unfolds under a similarly brilliant sky, where multiple classical statues appear to float above a stark desert landscape, dominated by silhouetted cacti. The full moon hangs delicately in the sky, adding a celestial touch, while ethereal clouds stretch across the horizon. This diptych effectively marries the elegance of Greco-Roman art with the raw, expansive beauty of the desert, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that challenges perceptions and invites introspection on the intersection of human history and the natural world.
Castello's “Exotic Delirium" series pays tribute to the constant hybridization and miscegenation, to the richness that springs from the intersection of different universes, to the possibility of cohabitation and the need for adaptation, and to the landscape as a historical and a dynamic composition where dreams, reality, and fiction are interwoven. The artistic work of Paloma Castello, giving life or a different narrative to the past of an object. She is interested in playing with memory and relating it to the present, creating an atmosphere between reality and fiction. Castellos' family and social origins have a powerful influence on her work. She grew up surrounded by objects and anecdotes inherited from her ancestors that inspire endless surreal stories. Her work arises from these experiences; They are evidence of her “autofiction."Â

Presentation
Paloma Castello was born in 1988, Bogotá, Colombia.
I use my work to bring life or a different narrative to an object's past. I'm interested in playing with memory and relating it to the present, creating an atmosphere between reality and fiction. My family and social background have a powerful influence on my work. I grew up surrounded with objects and anecdotes inherited from my ancestors that inspire endless surreal stories. My work emerges from these experiences; they are evidence of my “auto-fiction".
"Paloma Castello presents to us a nostalgia-filled body of work. The collection represents the soul of her proposal: inherited objects discovered or found that have become the tip of the iceberg of her past. These are elements she collects, recollects and then classifies following a method that frames her anachronic attitude that proves as evidence of the youth of her art.
She also demonstrates that the experimentations on herself are common in an artist who's just beginning her career. Without a doubt, this resource, valid and true becomes the road that determines the experimental character of the author.
Castelloland works with objects whose uniqueness proves to be fundamental to the piece's narrative in each story because each piece reacts and happens through the word and object interaction. This series is composed by more than 30 small format photographs and the stories that are linked to them that sway between fiction and reality."
