Painting
Willys de Castro was a Brazilian painter and sculptor working in geometric abstraction during the postwar period. His practice centered on constructivist principles and the exploration of color relationships through strictly ordered compositions. Active from the 1950s onward, de Castro developed a distinctive approach to non-representational form that situated him within the broader Latin American modernist movement. This profile will be expanded as more verified source material becomes available.
