Enrique Castro was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina in 1938. From very early age he started to draw and when he was 13 years old he illustrated a cover based on a novel. For about 15 years he worked in many well known advertising firms like Walter-Thompson, McCann Erickson, etc. During that period he made his first trip to USA. An admirer of the American illustrators such as Rockwell, N.C.Wyeth, Charles Dana Gibson, Maxfield Parrish, etc., he received their influence.

Back in Argentina he settled in the countryside, and bred polo ponies for 15 years. And at the same time he managed a racing horses stud farm. Not satisfied with his technical level, he spent 8 years with a great Argentinean painter Miguel Caride that meant a turning point in his career.

He begun to exhibit his horses and won several first prizes.

Commissioned works started to pour in. Including from USA Bob Kieckeford former President of The American Quarter horse Association asked for his art and portrayed horses of his property. He exhibited in Saratoga many times, Lexington, Louisville, Manhattan (Wally Findlay), Palm Beach Polo (Chisholm Gallery), Lafayette, California (Pacific Wild Life) etc.

The time was ripe for London. He worked for 20 years at the Tryon Gallery, and became one of the most popular artists of the gallery selling over 300 paintings until it was sold in 1999. His action works in polo and racing are auctioned at Sotheby's and Christies in sporting paintings sales. He is always grateful to former owners of that gallery.

In fact he considers them as true friends. He learnt a lot about the international market and they gave him the clues to achieve excellence.

It was at Tryon that he developed his technique of "oil on paper".

Three years ago Benjamin Hall Vice President of Old Masters at Sotheby's, paid a visit to his studio to buy a racing scene executed with that technique. He was quite amazed. The Marchioness of Tavistock, through his son Lord Howland commissioned racing paintings for her more than 200 years old

2nd time is a charm
Size: 1 Quart, Style: 6-Pack, Configuration: Euro LX 0W-30
I purchased this for a DIY oil change on my wife's Infiniti QX30 (power train sourced from Mercedes). Doing it myself, I saved about $70 over the dealership's advertised synthetic oil change. I actually enjoy this type of maintenance work, and I get to pick the parts and fluids used. And I like Pennzoil synthetics better than several other domestic brands. However, the package as received showed that there was oil leaking from one or more bottles. Amazon had kept the oil in the original Pennzoil case, so Amazon was not to blame for the leakage. I immediately opened the case and cleaned and inspected each quart. Several had caps that were not on tight! I think that overall more than 1/8 of a quart had leaked. I'm glad I was home when the package was delivered, otherwise I would have had an oil stain on my front porch concrete floor. Now that would have really p...ed me off! So Pennzoil needs to better seal their quart bottles (QA issue?) and Amazon should check for this type of issue (it was obvious on the outer Amazon box) and not deliver when there are signs of leakage. Update - 8/11/23 Purchased a second time for my annual oil change on the QX30. This time the case was delivered without leakage. Buying from Amazon is a big time saver, as the Euro LX 0W30 is difficult to find at retail.

Best oil choice for exotics that take this blend
Size: 1 Quart, Style: 6-Pack, Configuration: Euro LX 0W-30
This is the closest thing to Mopar oil specifically made for exotics. I use it in my Alfa Romeo when I can't find Mopar for a decent price. 8000+ miles before an oil change is required

This is very hard to find item.
Size: 1 Quart, Style: 6-Pack, Configuration: Euro LX 0W-30
This is one of the lowest VOC oils. Important if your vehicle is GDI. Should help keep valves cleaner.
