Alvaro’s Fresco and Caliente Greys, as he describes them, are about;

“…magnetism, fury, energy…power.  You know, greys… create a feeling of danger, emotion, passion… mystery…evoke unknown things…darkness.  I use these greys to create a painting with magnetism…energy, mystery, passion…something to discover, entering the unknown, darkness.  These colours have just this type of feel to me.” -Alvaro Castagnet.
