Victor Castillo was born in Santiago de Chile in 1973. He began drawing at the age of five, inspired by the cartoons he watched on television, by science-fiction films and album covers that he owned his family, like The Wall of Pink Floyd. After a disappointing experience in art school, he left Chile in 2004 to settle in Barcelona. where the discovering of the works by the great Spanish masters drove him to refine his pictorial technique. He established himself as a representative of Pop Surrealism and worked with the Iguapop Gallery until it closed in 2010, where he began to exhibit his work internationally. In 2010, he moved to Los Angeles where he now lives and works.
