Synopsis

From Los Carpinteros to his solo career, Castillo's artistic practice plays with the aesthetics and materials of mid-20th-century Cuban furniture design

Published with Nara Roesler.

Marco A. Castillo (born 1971) is an artist whose design-focused practice examines the profound social and cultural shifts that shaped the early years of Cuba's socialist utopia. He was a founding member of the collective Los Carpinteros, alongside Alexandre Arrechea and Dagoberto Rodríguez, before embarking on a solo career in 2018. Since then, he has developed a prolific body of work inspired by Cuba's aesthetic modernization during the 1960s and 1970s, pushing traditional materials such as mahogany and rattan to their expressive limits. His archival research into key figures of Cuban industrial design honors a ""forgotten generation"" of creatives while reimagining their contributions through his own distinctive lens. The Decorator's Home focuses on Castillo's recent work as a solo artist and includes an illustrated chronology of Cuban design history in the 20th century.
