Alfonso De Castro

Since beauty is honoured all over the Empire how could Xi Shi remain humbly at home?
Washing clothes at dawn by a southern lake and that evening a great lady in a palace of the north:
Lowly one day, no different from the others, the next day exalted, everyone praising her.

poem by WangWei

Alfonso de Castrois holds a Bachelor of Arts in Physics and a Ph.D. in Fine Arts and is a Professor of Photography in the Department of Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona. With the words of Bataille: “What designates passion is a halo of death”. Murders in China comes immediately, like a shot in the temple, a work that is separate from what he has done so far.
