Brief Biography-Teofilo Castillo was from Huaraz in Peru and moved to Lima at four. He learned painting early from a Cuban artist named Boudat Ducollier, who worked for his father. Teofilo later travelled to France and Italy, where religious art influenced him. When he returned to South America, he married Maria Gregoria in Argentina, where they stayed and had eight children. In Argentina, he made a prosperous living from photography and painting portraits. In 1905, he moved to Lima, where he set up the La Escuela de Bellas Artes, The School of Fine Arts. Shortly afterwards, he returned to Argentina, settled in, and set up the Sal y Niece, Salt, and Snow magazine.
