Enrique Castro was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1938. From very early age he started to draw and when he was 13 years old he illustrated a cover based on a novel. For about 15 years he worked in many well known advertising firms like Walter-Thompson, McCann Erickson, etc. During that period he made his first trip to USA. An admirer of the American illustrators such as Rockwell, N.C.Wyeth, Charles Dana Gibson, Maxfield Parrish, etc., he received their influence.

Back in Argentina he settled in the countryside, and bred polo ponies for 15 years. And at the same time he managed a racing horses stud farm. Not satisfied with his technical level, he spent 8 years with a great Argentinean painter Miguel Caride that meant a turning point in his career.

He begun to exhibit his horses and won several first prizes.

Commissioned works started to pour in. Including from USA Bob Kieckeford former President of The American Quarter horse Association asked for his art and portrayed horses of his property. He exhibited in Saratoga many times, Lexington, Louisville, Manhattan (Wally Findlay), Palm Beach Polo (Chisholm Gallery), Lafayette, California (Pacific Wild Life) etc.

The time was ripe for London. He worked for 20 years at the Tryon Gallery, and became one of the most popular artists of the gallery selling over 300 paintings until it was sold in 1999. His action works in polo and racing are auctioned at Sotheby's and Christies in sporting paintings sales. He is always grateful to former owners of that gallery.

In fact he considers them as true friends. He learnt a lot about the international market and they gave him the clues to achieve excellence.

It was at Tryon that he developed his technique of "oil on paper".

Three years ago Benjamin Hall Vice President of Old Masters at Sotheby's, paid a visit to his studio to buy a racing scene executed with that technique. He was quite amazed. The Marchioness of Tavistock, through his son Lord Howland commissioned racing paintings for her more than 200 years old

Perfect in Eery Way
Color: Black
This monitor stand is worth every penny. I thought it was a bit pricey at first, but the quality is top notch. Made of real wood not pressed board, was easy to assemble and maximized my space. Having the drawers was a bonus to keep small items organized. The height is sufficient to slide books, papers and such underneath. Top shelf is long enough to not only hold dual monitors but also a few decorative items. It’s also just right for a 43” wide desk but not so wide that it eats up your keyboard or writing surface.

Pretty good for the price
Color: Brown
Honestly great quality from what it came in and I love how affordable it is. Though my one complaint is that they don't have rubber tabs underneath the legs so it just slides off pretty easily but other than that being an easy fix it"s not bad assembly was easy and it freed up a lot of room on my desk

So impressed with this company! Highly recommend!
Color: Black, Color: Black
Update: Awesome seller, exceptional customer service! Updated pics and rating, 5 Stars all the way! This seller has gone above and beyond to take care of the issue and ensure maximum satisfaction. I simply couldn't be more pleased! I really like this product, the design and quality and especially support. Highly recommend doing business here and supporting this business operation! Original review: Received it today, packaging and everything seemed perfect. Looked over all the pieces and they seemed OK. Took a bit to assemble but not bad. The design and construction are great. It looks awesome for my setup as you can see in pics. Really love this, or at least what it's supposed to be if everything was perfect. However, once assembled, upon closer look, I was just so disappointed. I just couldn't believe it. The bottom shelf on the left side is pretty messed up (refer to pics). Also on the right side but not quite as noticeable. Not sure what to do here, I don't think I can deal with this especially at the $100 price point. If it was in the back, I wouldn't care too much. But of course it's right in the very front just staring at me lol... I'm pretty bummed out, probably returning this unfortunately.
