A painting I considered my first best really slapped me on the face after showing people,\u201d Castro said, remembering his class project. \u201cPeople kept asking why the lady\u2019s skin-tone was green, but I couldn\u2019t see it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">It was at that moment that Castro, then 23, finally realized he was colorblind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cBut, it\u2019s grown to be my style and brings a unique touch to my paintings,\u201d said the artist, who is now 26.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Judging from the array of bright colors in his art pieces, one would never guess that he is colorblind.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">\u201cI have trouble mainly with reds and greens,\u201d he said. \u201cAt times I have trouble seeing gray, pink, light greens and orange. I\u2019ve gotten better with time and I obviously read the labels.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Castro graduated from Academy of Art University where he studied human anatomy and figure drawing, and analyzed shades, color and structures. But Castro can trace his artistic ability back to his childhood, where street art was his core motivation.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36417\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36417\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Color-blind-art_02web.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-36417\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Color-blind-art_02web.jpg?resize=400%2C400&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Color-blind-art_02web.jpg?w=864&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 864w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Color-blind-art_02web.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Color-blind-art_02web.jpg?resize=100%2C100&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 100w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Color-blind-art_02web.jpg?resize=600%2C600&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Color-blind-art_02web.jpg?resize=250%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 250w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Color-blind-art_02web.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Color-blind-art_02web.jpg?resize=480%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 480w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Color-blind-art_02web.jpg?resize=90%2C90&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 90w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Color-blind-art_02web.jpg?resize=270%2C270&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 270w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36417\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bay Area artist Jose Felix Castro Jr., who discovered he was colorblind while in college, poses next to his artwork.

I love graffiti, I love portraits, I love landscapes. I would do everything I do now back then, but with a free sense. Not subjected to a career, none the less a lifestyle.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">Throughout his Redwood City studio, some of his art books are on shelves and others are scattered on his desk for research. His current and previous pieces of art adorn the white walls of his studio with bold color.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p5\">An artist of Mexican descent, Castro was born in Redwood City and raised in various cities throughout the Bay Area, a region rich with diversity. However, it wasn\u2019t until recently that Castro found his style: creating paintings that reflect political, Latino and immigration issues.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_36419\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-36419\" style=\"width: 400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Color-blind-art_01web.jpg?quality=89&#038;ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-36419\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Color-blind-art_01web.jpg?resize=400%2C538&#038;quality=89&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"538\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Color-blind-art_01web.jpg?w=720&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Color-blind-art_01web.jpg?resize=600%2C807&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Color-blind-art_01web.jpg?resize=186%2C250&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 186w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/eltecolote.org\/content\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/Color-blind-art_01web.jpg?resize=357%2C480&amp;quality=89&amp;ssl=1 357w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-36419\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nature\u2019s modern wealth, by Jose Felix Castro Jr. Via Facebook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"p5\">Most of his current pieces are black and white portraits of women and men holding up signs protesting injustices against immigrants.
