About
Visions Art Center
Liberia, Costa Rica
Visions Gallery at Visions Art Center is Liberia’s newest addition to Costa Rica’s vibrant art scene. Owners Francisco Castro Lostalo and Tony Magee have created a welcoming space featuring original paintings and sculptures by many Costa Rican and international artists, as well as a selection of limited edition prints by internationally renowned painter Isidro Con Wong. Our distinctive and diverse collection includes one-of-a-kind sculptures from table-top to monumental sizes, as well as vibrant, durable paintings that can be hung either indoors or outdoors. Our principal and resident artist, Francisco, also welcomes custom orders in a wide choice of media, subjects, styles, sizes and color palettes to suit your taste.
Resident Artist
Francisco Castro Lostalo
Like French painter Henri Matisse, Francisco believes that an artist should never be a prisoner of a single style. He works in a wide range of subjects and styles, from colorful paintings in acrylic, acrylic and resin, watercolor and mixed media, to sculptures in stone, wood, ceramic, fiberglass and bronze. His acrylic and resin paintings are frequently filled with bold color, texture and movement, and his underwater images of whales and other sea life are striking.
Francisco has a long list of artistic credits. He organized Costa Rica's first two international stone sculpture symposiums and represented Canada in the World Youth Forum's 2018 sculpture symposium "Reviving Humanity" in Egypt. His public sculptures can be found in Egypt, Chile and Costa Rica, and his art is held in many private collections in Costa Rica, Canada, the United States, the Caribbean, Argentina, Great Britain, France, Germany, Belgium and Switzerland.
Born and raised in Costa Rica, Francisco is also a Canadian citizen. The diversity of his work can be seen on this site, in our gallery in Liberia, Costa Rica and on his personal website castrolostalo.com.
