San ​Angelo ​Murals

Join the San Angelo ​mural renaissance​

San Angelo became the Visual Arts Capitol of ​Texas in 2022. Let's make sure we live up to ​that title.

About Me

Al​ejandro Castanon

The first thing you should know is that I am self-taught and ​will forever be a "learning artist". I was born in Mexico and ​grew up traveling Europe with my family. My culture and ​exposure to the European lifestyle greatly influenced my ​art. Landing in San Angelo was fortuitous and I'm grateful to ​be living in a community exploding with creative minds.

My first mural (2019) can be found at Paint Brush Alley in ​San Angelo, TX. Before that moment I had been painting ​professionally for 8 years. Taking the leap into murals was a ​dream of mine and has allowed me to try ideas much too ​large for canvas.

Taking lessons I previously learned and scaffolding my ​knowledge every time I took on a new project I was able to ​quickly improve and take on harder more complicated ​projects.

Current mural Project

Lakeview High School

Returning to Lakeview H.S. to work on another wall has been a ​delight. The first mural project was designed around the ​hallway for their Culinary program. I decided to incorporate ​elements of "making" with a heavy emphasis on how hands are ​an integral part of the process of preparing dishes.

Our return to Lakeview is to finish the other side of the ​hallway. This time we are designing a mural around the idea of ​connection and how meals connect us all.

If you'd like to follow my social you'll see updates on our ​progress and completion.

Upcoming Murals

Sonora, TX

Currently, in the planning ​phase, this will be two mural ​projects for the city's ​downtown area.

GREGORIO ​Gutierrez ​MURAL

This a passion project that I ​am currently raising funds ​for. Gregorio Gutierrez was a ​dear friend and mentor. He ​was the CEO and founder of ​Conexion Newspaper in San ​Angelo. He passed away in ​2021 from COVID related ​complications.

I am searching for a wall on ​the north side of town that ​would enjoy a free mural.

This will prove useful for two reasons:

1. You will see step by step how we work.
   
2. It will save you time in planning. Murals can be ​complicated for first-timers. We got you ​covered!
