The son of a draftsman and of a painter, Castellano decided to devote himself to the plastic arts at a very early age.
Art critics are in the habit of cataloguing him as a fundamentally expressionist painter, but his long artistic career and his wide variety of styles and cultivation of various technologies make it risky to do so categorically. Since 1976 he has resided in Morón de la Frontera (Seville). His catalogued works, numbering in the thousands, are distributed widely in Spain and around the world, especially in Japan, Germany, Argentina, Cuba and the United States.
He is a contributor of articles and illustrations to cultural and pedagogic magazines such as "Oil-mill", "From the Border", "Kikiriki", et cetera, and is the illustrator of diverse children"s stories.
He has written and published several books on the history, geography and artistic monuments of Morón de la Frontera.
