Miniature Paintings



“The art is not measured in size but rather its simplicity and beauty that reflects the true and inner feeling of the subjects and that of the artist. “ – cited Norris Castillo.

Born in Tiaong, Quezon Province, Norris grew up from a family of artists. Growing up with his mother in Alaminos Laguna, who is a sculpturist using ivory and ceramics materials, and his brother who paints using oil canvass, it is Norris’ fate to be a fine artist. He was greatly influenced by his family and was exposed in colors, artistry and creativity all his life.

Norris started to look at his craft seriously when he was in 3rd year High School. His love of art made him paint almost everything.
