It's Castein here...

From a humble hobby to a profound passion, painting has always been a part of my life. My artworks draw inspiration from the way everything is connected in life and how nature is full of beautiful and diverse colours. I like to focus on different body parts, gold lines and depict the flow of water in my work.

I started Art-ish – to create a safe and easy place where people could come together, have a drink, and create something beautiful without worrying about work tasks. But what I love most about Art-ish is the sense of connected community that we have created. If you attend our events, you will feel this same sense of joy, creativity, and community. And I hope that, like me, you discover that creativity should not stay in your garage but needs to be shared with the world.

Throughout my art, I explore the intricate nature of hair and aim to capture the special personality and essence of objects.
