Mixed Media Works by Juan Alberto Castillo

He is currently a manager in design/production for the Chicago Cub’s publication’s department.  His fine art works range from acrylic, cut-paper and three dimensional compositions. View fine art works as well as sport related graphics by an artist whose versatile and unique use of a variety of surfaces such as window panes expresses his love of shapes and color.
