Colombian artist and digital designer Marcello Castellani researches various techniques in his pieces in order to find his own unique style one day. Still training, he works with illustration, acrylics or pencils, while his job as a digital designer has urged him to question the relationship between pixel and photography. This exploration led Castellani to his first solo exhibition ‘Hilados (Spun)’, in which he deconstructs photos into pixels, resulting in him spilling paint onto canvas to make it look like threads.

Soon, his drawings in ink, in which he also works with the concept of threads, but under the theme of madness, will be part of the exhibition MalENTENDIDOS (misUNDERSTANDINGS) in Mexico City. This will be his second collective exhibition with other Colombian artists. He paints in his head when he is not doing so with a pencil, acrylics or illustrating, and he hopes that everything he admires of Van Gogh, Dali and Alberto Giacometti continues decanting so that his own style emerges.
