Enrique Castro was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1938. From very early age he started to draw and when he was 13 years old he illustrated a cover based on a novel. For about 15 years he worked in many well known advertising firms like Walter-Thompson, McCann Erickson, etc. During that period he made his first trip to USA. An admirer of the American illustrators such as Rockwell, N.C.Wyeth, Charles Dana Gibson, Maxfield Parrish, etc., he received their influence.

Back in Argentina he settled in the countryside, and bred polo ponies for 15 years. And at the same time he managed a racing horses stud farm. Not satisfied with his technical level, he spent 8 years with a great Argentinean painter Miguel Caride that meant a turning point in his career.

He begun to exhibit his horses and won several first prizes.

Commissioned works started to pour in. Including from USA Bob Kieckeford former President of The American Quarter horse Association asked for his art and portrayed horses of his property. He exhibited in Saratoga many times, Lexington, Louisville, Manhattan (Wally Findlay), Palm Beach Polo (Chisholm Gallery), Lafayette, California (Pacific Wild Life) etc.

The time was ripe for London. He worked for 20 years at the Tryon Gallery, and became one of the most popular artists of the gallery selling over 300 paintings until it was sold in 1999. His action works in polo and racing are auctioned at Sotheby's and Christies in sporting paintings sales. He is always grateful to former owners of that gallery.

In fact he considers them as true friends. He learnt a lot about the international market and they gave him the clues to achieve excellence.

It was at Tryon that he developed his technique of "oil on paper".

Three years ago Benjamin Hall Vice President of Old Masters at Sotheby's, paid a visit to his studio to buy a racing scene executed with that technique. He was quite amazed. The Marchioness of Tavistock, through his son Lord Howland commissioned racing paintings for her more than 200 years old

Looked Great with my shoes and dress
Color: Champagne, Color: Champagne
This is a true champagne color, as you can see in the picture my shoes were a slight rose champagne color. It still all went really great together. The bag is very soft, perfect size for the wedding, opened and closed securely, and looked high quality.

Elegant and affordable
Color: Black
I got this for a formal event and it was perfect. There were several colors to choose from, and it comes with a long chain option for over the shoulder if preferred. The quality is very good and the price was also fantastic. It fits a phone easily with room for a few more necessities. It feels very comfortable and durable. I'll be using it again for future events.

Perfect Navy Clutch!
Color: Navy
The Navy Blue clutch is really nice with a goldtone clasp and a really nice goldtone twisted rope chain that's detachable. The chain alone makes the purchase worth it to interchange onto other clutches that came with cheesy silver tone cheap-looking chains. It's roomy enough to hold your bulky cell phone, a small brush and some makeup plus a zip pocket for money (what's that?), ID, and credit cards. One of the best purchases I've ever made. Attractive and classy clutch!

Lovable clutch
Color: Navy, Color: Navy
Cute clutch for events. Took to a wedding, nice size, especially like that I could put my phone in it and plenty of room for a small wallet, lipsticks, and tissues/personal products. I wish the fabric were higher quality (has a sheen to it yet it is thin) but for the price it makes sense. I will only use for special occasions. Once aired out overnight, it had no smell. Very light in weight. It has a strap that would make it more comfortable to lug around, but I think I lost it? That is on me! I appreciate that it has a strap and a place for it to convert. Overall super happy and does the job! Carries everything I need for formal events. Photos show one with my hand and one with a lipstick in it for size reference. Other shows a thoughtfully placed zipper pocket that is convenient!
