The years he spent at the Paris School of Fine Arts, from 1958 to 1966, are characterized, as are his works, by the teachings of Jean Aujame (1905-1965) and, in particular, Roger Limouse (1894-1989), the oldest of the group "Painters of Poetic Reality." From this major movement in French painting from the 1930s to the 1960s, which lays claim to the legacy of Fauvism, Castelin maintains vibrant colors and a clear interplay between the backdrop and the canvas's main subject.
Critics praise the warmth and strength of his colors, the abrupt simplicity of his forms, and the service of themes dear to him: female muse figures, illusionists, acrobats, and magicians elevated to an imaginary and dreamlike dimension. Maintaining his independence and originality, Castelin draws from a classical repertoire, shaping it with his sensitivity. Each of his characters is inscribed in its own spatiality and expresses a desire to communicate sensations for every reality. Through his masterful compositions and his sometimes powerful, sometimes shallow touch, the viewer enters his intimate universe where love, circus, and magic intertwine according to a precise dramaturgy.
