Diana Castro : Press Release

Diana Castro: Dejavu' Introduction

I look at the world from 
another side of the window

my heart waiting 
with anticipation, struggling 
with nightmares.

hour of solitary in meditation 

looking to find the next 
dimension, the meaning behind 
death, before it's too late

our souls binned outside life's prisms, 
scraps of past lives before my eyes.
ghost shadow, waiting for me to 
find the consequence of our purgatory .

An already lived moment
Already seen
Remembering the future
Somewhere we have already been
A shiver down my spine
A flash of eeriness too
A feeling that you've already lived that moment.
This is just a dejavu'.

Cocoons,Chrysalids&Butterflies

Spring was coming up


........then a ray of light
smiled at me , it warmed me up.
It lifted me up to the sky
and i saw the blue again.
I caressed the gems
ready to blossom
i drank the dew
it quenched my thirst
and bathed my garden.
The butterflies landed on the corollas.
Spring was coming up

Giuseppina Mira Poem.

Sometimes although we do not know the reasons we withdraw in ourselves .
Suddenly something occurs which it is worth turning into chrysalids and then in butterflies..
then you find out the reason why it takes dying to experience resurrection.
and like a butterfly that knows what being a larva (coccon) means you first turn into a chrysalid and then into a butterfly.
and like a butterfly open up your wings to fly over
to be blessed by beauty and peace.

Diana Castro: New studio in the heart of Chicago

http://dianacastroart.jimdo.com/

Diana Castro was born in Des-Plaines IL in 1981.

Diana works as artist, professional photographer and digital programs expert.

Her work is now based in Chicago and New York.



She discoverd photography at the age of twelve when she was gifted of an old vivitar reflex camera.

She has never stopped to capture images ever since.

After having studied art and photography in Rome she realized how digital programs (Photoshop,Illustrator,PhotoPainter) could be usefu for her artistic research.



Diana's desire to produce more original and unique images has taken her to travel and work around the world, especially : Israel, USA, China , Italy, France, India, Mexico and Brazil have been particularly inspirational to find new ideas and more energy in order to improve her visual language and enhance her style.

This anthropological/spiritual research has enabled her to combine her extensive technical experience with commissions and artworks that are not only more creative and introspective but also allow her to expess herself with more strength and passion than ever.
She wanted to take her work into an area where the components of a single , or a series of images , tell a story and move emotionally , rather than simply showing or serving as a testimony.

Diana's goal is capturing the real essence of of the subjects not only a moment of their life.

Her enthusiasm ensures her committment to staying fresh,inventive and on top of the latest industry trends.


This has led her to a particularly productive period including the Artworks "Chaosville" and " Cocoons, Chrysalid&butterflies".

Diana 's ArtWorks have been successfully exhibited in: Italy, France, USA, India, Canada and Israel .

Diana Castro works also as post productor retoucher for other photographers and co-operates with other artists throughout the USA.



Diana provides a variety of services to accomodate your specific needs and offers a very creative, artistic approach in capturing elegant fashion shots, portraits and romantic photographs in a sophisticated, modern italian style to capture your natural beauty and personality.
