Jorge Castañeda, known professionally as Dos Diablos, is a Mexican painter and creature concept artist recognized for his monstrous portraits and nightmarish imagery. After beginning his career as an editorial illustrator, he transitioned into oil painting, studying techniques of the Old Masters while developing his signature dark aesthetic. His work explores grotesque beauty, merging surreal horror with classical craftsmanship to evoke haunting emotion and psychological intensity.

Dos Diablos’ work has been exhibited internationally across the United States, Mexico, and Europe, and his portfolio includes creature concept art for horror and fantasy productions, poster art for rock bands, and editorial illustration for alternative publications. Drawing inspiration from gothic folklore, religious iconography, and visceral human emotion, his studio practice functions as a laboratory where traditional methods meet contemporary dark fantasy.
