Inspirations

The Golgothà collection emerges from Kastano’s exploration of existential themes, rooted in the symbolic language of alchemy and spirituality. The cross, a universal emblem, transcends religious boundaries, serving as a portal to self-discovery. Through black, red, and golden hues, the works reflect the alchemical phases of dissolution, sacrifice, and enlightenment. Kastano’s compositions channel the essence of the nigredo process, where confronting darkness unveils the seeds of light. Each piece invites viewers to embark on an inward journey, navigating the depths of human experience and celebrating the potential for transformation.

Artistic Perspective

In Golgothà, Kastano masterfully weaves ancient symbolism with contemporary artistry. The collection delves into profound themes of human fragility, sacrifice, and spiritual rebirth. Each piece, centered on the cross, becomes a portal to self-discovery.

The black cross emerges from shadow, signifying the weight of human existence, pain, and the transformative potential of confronting life’s mysteries. The red cross speaks of blood, the heart, and sacrifice—a pathway to divine connection. Gold, shimmering against deep, earthy tones, transcends its decorative role, symbolizing enlightenment, alchemical transmutation, and the timeless beauty hidden beyond suffering.

Kastano’s Golgothà series transcends the religious narrative of the crucifixion, offering a universal meditation on the cycles of loss and renewal. Through meticulous layering and symbolic depth, the works become mirrors reflecting the viewer’s inner journey—a timeless exploration of art, history, and spirituality.
