Castillero is an essential painter in the new generation of Spanish figurative painters. He is a fundamental reference of the so-called urban or landscape rapid painting. His measured balance of light, colour and line has elevated him to a position of recognition both by other painters, as well as by the gallery circuit, juries and the general public.
In 2015 he received the most prestigious figurative art award in Spain: the first prize in the 8th edition of the contest "Figuratives 2015" organized by the MEAM with the Fundación de las Artes y los Artistas de Barcelona. Hence his work "The day silence reigned in the congress" is part of the permanent collection of the MEAM in Barcelona.
In his nearly two decades of professional career, Castillero has received many awards in fast painting and landscape competitions. Among them are: The "AXA Catedral de Burgos" of 2017 (considered the most important natural painting contest in Spain); the National Living Culture Award in the Plastic Arts section 2019; or the XXI edition of the Castellar 2019 Outdoor Painting Contest, to name just a few.
