I choose Carolyn Castaño because I really liked the colors she uses in her works and the topics she chooses to paint about. Her color choices are very vibrant and she incorporates a lot of nature themes into her work. Carolyn was born in 1971 to Colombian migrants in Los Angeles. She was first exposed to art within the club communities of both rock and pop, evident in their use in some of her work. In most of her paintings she creates borders to highlight the subject. She is currently focusing on Narcos from Latin America, and portrays them in a neutral matter; she is interested in women's role in Narco trafficking and how they have been portrayed in popular culture. Castaño's work has been exhibited at major museums and exhibitions across the world; she not only paints, but also does multimedia work. She graduated from UCLA, San Francisco Art Institute , and Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture.
