About
Lisa Derksen Castillo
Born in a Citroën BX in front of the Heineken Brewery in Amsterdam,
The Netherlands
Lives & Studies in Amsterdam
Currently I am in my final year at the Amsterdam school of Art. I was born holding a pencil in my hand and I will never let it go. I followed the path that led me into the world of art and learned how to speak the different dialects of media.
When drawing and painting I have always felt the need to express my feelings through the language of color, guided by music.
At the AHK I got my hands on a camera and discovered the power of digital media. There I found new ways to investigate the relations between color, sound and emotion. This guided me to start VJing. Live Visuals projected during a musical performance, translating music into visual images.
