В 1921 году вернулся в Латвию.Получил зарубежную стипендию Фонда культуры и после этого путешествуя по Италии создал замечательный цикл итальянских пейзажей, наполненных солнцем и воздухом.

Tomas Castaño was born in Santander (Spain) in 1953. From a young age shows a special inclination towards drawing, but until the age of 17 years he does not take the first brushes and start painting. Self-taught, Tomas carved himself, based on determination and enthusiasm. He has a realistic style, his paintings are very well drawn and he also worries for the composition and perspective of his works. He is a landscape artist but characterized by his architectural work.
