The life of Sergio de Castro

Sergio de Castro was born in Buenos Aires in 1922, to parents of Spanish origin from the noble house of Castro. He was raised in Switzerland, but later returned to Argentina.

He took classes with Joaquin Terres Garcia, who, like him, was a multi-talented intellectual: painting, writing, theology... Sergio de Castro took a keen interest in music and was Manuel de Falla's assistant for over a year. In 1949, the artist obtained a scholarship from the French government to continue his music studies. Two years later, however, he abandoned this discipline and devoted himself solely to painting. He won the Hallmark Prize in New York, and exhibited at the Venice Biennale in 1960 and the Argentine Pavilion in 1980.

The artist shines not only with his painting on canvas, but also with his stained glass creations in Caen, Hamburg, Argentina and Switzerland.

For a time, he was also professor of humanities at the University of Strasbourg.

The artist died in 2012, aged 90.
