About Me


Award-winning tattoo artist and painter, native New-Yorker: Vincent Castiglia:Vincent currently accepts large-scale black and grey commissions of varying themes and complexity.Vincent's work has been featured in numerous art and tattoo publications, internationally, such as Tattoo Flash, Tattoo Society, Skin Deep, Skin Art, Tattoo Savage, International Tattoo Art, Tattoo Arte, Tabu Tattoo, Tattoo Revue, Tattoos For Men, Tattoos For Women, YRB Magazine, Hungarian Tattoo Society Magazine, ArtisSpectrum, Staff Magazine, and Antheon, and has also been seen on the television series, “Miami Ink”, as well as New York 1 News. Vincent Castiglia works in the tradition of surrealism and visionary art. In his works, Beauty and decay conjugate in a superlative act to objectify a seamless truth within the desperation of the human condition. The figures that infuse Castiglia’s work, in his view, mirror an inevitable aspect of human existence (consequent nonbeing) and abstract the experiential bridge (life), in an effort to evidence the symbiotic relationship between the two for the viewer. When asked for his artist statement, the artist replies, “My paintings tend to depict iconographic forms, vital and necrotic juxtapositions, and reinterpretations of transpersonal experience.”Vincent Castiglia's fine art is represented by Leslie Barany, of Barany Artists NYC. Barany has exposed Vincent’s paintings to the art-world at large, introducing his work to collectors as well as other artists such as H.R. Giger, Ernst Fuchs, and Andre Lassen, as well as many other appreciators from around the world.Vincent Castiglia's works on paper have been exhibited at museums and galleries in the US, Switzerland and England, including in the 2006 group exhibition of the Society for Art of Imagination at The HR Giger Museum Gallery, Switzerland), The Museum of Sex (New York), The Mall Gallery (London, England) Canvas Los Angeles (Los Angeles California), Fuse Gallery (New York), Art @ Large Gallery (New York) Gallery Lombardi (Austin Texas), Stolen Space Gallery (London, England), C-Pop Gallery (Detroit, Michigan)The 7th Annual Dirty Show (Detroit, Michigan), Streetwise Gallery (Detroit, Michigan)and Ludlow Gallery (New York), where Castiglia's artwork received its first violent compliment, having the hanging work stolen from the gallery.If seeking a consultation for a tattoo, or have questions regarding availability for the paintings of Vincent Castiglia, please contact Vincent @:Studio: 347.406.6628 Email: [email protected]: BY VOICE: Leslie Barany USA (212) 684-2225BY E-MAIL: [email protected]
