ABOUT ME

My name is Miguel Angel and I was born in San Sebastian , Spain in 1973 ; My family names are Castrillo Fernandez and Sotoko is my stage name .
Since I was a child I have always been interested in arts and very specially in painting .
It was as a teenager on a trip to Italy after the death of my father who was the first to get me to draw , that I could see and enjoy among others some of Sandro Boticelli´s works ...
I knew then that someday I would devote a lot of my time to painting as a professional .
After trying various schools of Art and Design , both in Spain and the United Kingdom , I finally finished my studies at the Massana School of Art in the city of Barcelona ( Spain ) graduating as a top Technician of Plastic Arts and Design in Applied Mural Arts in 2003 .
Several unfortunate events occurred during my 30´s and once they were over I reached both personal and artistic maturity ; Ever since my life and future have a very clearly defined direction , and that is the Arts , having shown my works in cities such as London, Barcelona, Port, Valladolid, Venice, Turin or New York.
I have worked very different techniques ranging from drawing in all its forms to mural frescoed paintings as well as graffito , stucco or even altar pieces and stained glass . I am also familiar with acrylic painting , watercolors , collage or any other form of representing my perception of the world or whatever on such supports .
However , it is oil paintings I feel most comfortable working with by using a very thin brushwork to create compositions that address various topics , usually in series which I very much enjoy to show accompanied by short texts ; These works could be erotic , religious or of any other nature .
Among the places where my work can be permanently seen , and available to be enjoyed are at the San Joaquín y Santa Ana Museum in the Spanish city of Valladolid .
Best wishes my friends ...
Miguel Angel Castrillo Fernandez ... ( Sotoko ) ...
