"OSCURA" is a manifestation of the raw, uncompromising, and instinctive vision of Julian Castaneda. The name comes from the way ideas and creations appear from nowhere, formed through the interaction between the artist and the medium. OSCURA makes space for work to exist without inherent meaning, where art flows freely from the unknown and takes shape through compulsion.

Core themes often emerge, including identity, decay, annihilation, spirituality, and a sense of confusion and unease. While film photography is the primary method of expression, OSCURA is not bound to any single form. The vision extends into graphic design, sound and music, textile printing, and anything else that insists on being made.
