Quiet corners | Joy delcastillo

Quiet Corners presents a collection of still life paintings by Joy DelCastillo that reflect her enduring fascination with the quiet beauty of the everyday. DelCastillo's practice is grounded in a deep appreciation of nature, form, and colour, and in how light and shadow can transform the mood and meaning of a composition.

Creating art is a transportive experience for DelCastillo. It becomes a process that dissolves both time and the self. Each painting emerges as a space where and emotion and atmosphere surface unexpectedly, often surprising even the artist herself. In Quiet Corner, she invites viewers into this contemplative space, where light and shadow elevate the commonplace, and where colour and composition evoke feelings of nostalgia, curiosity and quiet delight.
