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

Soft, lightweight golf shirt
Color: Turquoise, Size: Medium
I got this for my husband who occasionally golfs with work buddies as of recently. This golf shirt was perfect for him because it’s soft and the thinness helps with sweat and keeping it cool which is necessary where we live. The color is great and matches with most of his other shirts. It feels like a nice quality shirt while also being very lightweight. I’m sure if he was into wearing polos regularly, he would probably were it all the time. The size we got fit great and washing it was easy. Overall this is a great lightweight polo for being active.

It's more than golf shirt.
Color: Grey, Size: Large
This shirt is great for summer, beach, casual wear and outdoor activities. It's cool to touch and dry quick. The only thing you should be aware is that if you are on the plus size, the shirt does stick to your body sometimes and it does not compliment your body type well.

Soft and Easy Care
Color: Turquoise, Size: Medium, Color: Turquoise, Size: Medium
This is a great lightweight and moisture wicking golf shirt. The color is pretty and it has a UPF rating of 30+. The fabric has a soft, luxurious feel and the fit is true to size. The snaps fasten easily and are of good quality. This shirt washed up easily with no need for ironing. A nice shirt at a great price!

Almost perfection
Color: Khaki, Size: XX-Large
I have really liked this polo the fit is great material is so lightweight and breathable Chef's kiss. the one thing i didn't like is the white accent parts are like heat applied and peeled off after 2 washes it doesn't do anything to the polo but still a little disappointing i just peeled the rest of them off so quality leaves a little bit to be desired there. i wish they didn't include them and it would be 5/5 for me but if after 4 or 5 wears and 2 washes it peels off that is a little disappointing
