Inti Castro, known as Inti, is a Chilean street artist and muralist who has gained international recognition for his large-scale, colorful murals. Born in Valparaíso, Chile, he was named after the Incan sun god, which is fitting given the vibrant colors and themes found in his work. Inti's style is characterized by the fusion of Latin American imagery with contemporary street art. His murals often feature subjects inspired by pre-Columbian cultures, Andean folklore, and the social and political issues of modern-day Latin America. Inti's artwork is a visual reflection of his cultural identity, and his powerful use of color and symbolism is what sets him apart from other street artists. Throughout his career, Inti has painted murals in various countries, including Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, Mexico, France, Spain, and the United States, among others. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums and has been featured in numerous international street art festivals. Inti's art is not only visually striking but also thought-provoking. His murals invite viewers to engage with the cultural and historical narratives they depict, fostering a deeper understanding of Latin American heritage and contemporary issues.  Inti's murals often incorporate a recurring character called "Kusillo," which is derived from Andean folklore. The Kusillo is a trickster figure, a clown who challenges social norms and represents the duality between the sacred and the profane. This character embodies the rebellious spirit of street art and serves as a symbolic bridge between ancestral traditions and modernity. Inti's choice of medium—street art and muralism—carries a long tradition in Latin America, dating back to the Mexican Muralism movement of the early 20th century. Artists like Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros, and José Clemente Orozco used murals as a means to convey political messages and social critique. In this sense, Inti follows in the footsteps of these muralists, using public art to make powerful statements and engage with social and political issues relevant to Latin America. In addition to his street art, Inti also creates studio works, including paintings, drawings, and sculptures. These pieces often explore the same themes and aesthetics found in his murals but offer a more intimate and detailed look at his artistic vision. Inti's work has received critical acclaim and has been featured in various books, documentaries, and publications related to street art and contemporary Latin American art. His influence has also reached younger generations of street artists, who look up to him as a pioneer in the melding of traditional Latin American iconography with urban art. As Inti continues to create, his work carries a message of unity, cultural pride, and the importance of preserving and celebrating the rich traditions of Latin America. His murals act as a testament to the power of public art as a tool for social change and cultural expression.
