​
Inspired & influenced by the great masters worldwide, But it's the women that played a crucial role in his life, which is why he pays tribute to them with his paintings. Despite his tendency towards geometric & abstract shapes, a common theme in his artwork is the one-eyed figure. This motif, symbolizing his alter ego, also serves as a self-portrait of his subconscious.
​
Casiano himself has shared, “I'm visually impaired from one eye, but the irony is I was painting figures with a single eye years before losing vision. Perhaps some kind of foreshadowing”. Despite this physical challenge, he has never allowed it to hinder his passion and dedication to art. Casiano's pieces have been showcased in
galleries from across the U.S. ,Europe & recently acquired by art museums in Chicago and in South Korea. He earned numerous honors, awards & worldwide recognition through global publications. His exhibitions span across various cities such as New York City, Philadelphia, Santa Rosa, San Francisco, Paris & Oudewater, Holland. His works are acquired by corporate & private collectors worldwide.
​
His ambition is pretty straightforward: To introduce something unique and unseen in the fabric of modern-day culture. He does this one painting at a time. One exhibition at a time.
