Early life and career

Niclas Castello grew up in Neuhaus am Rennweg, East Germany.[when?] After living in Montmartre, Paris, he moved back to Germany in 2003,[3][4] where he studied art at a private university, dropping out after two years. Castello then moved to New York City, where he was supported by Arleen Schloss,[5] staying at Schloss' New York loft for about two years.[6] From 2008 to 2015, he traveled and worked with galleries in Europe and the United States.[2]
