As he describes,  Alvaro’s Fresco and Caliente Greys are about; “…magnetism, fury, energy…power.andnbsp; 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.
