The concentric circles of art and mysticism are one in the work of Alfredo
Castañeda, creator of one of the most authentic and original bodies of work
in contemporary Mexican art. A major oeuvre, no doubt, and one that continues to grow.
His works are doors to houses and temples whose walls are fields and oceans which are
bodies, which are also words, which are also images. No one in Mexico has done quite
this before. No one has walked where he takes us, astounded, filled with his mystery and his
smile.
Alberto Ruy Sanchez, 1989
