Artist Profile
Daniel Castro Maia
Limited Edition Movie Posters & Art Prints
Daniel Castro Maia has established himself as a compelling voice in contemporary alternative movie poster art through his partnerships with prestigious galleries including Hero Complex Gallery and Mondo. Working primarily in licensed screen-print formats, Castro Maia has contributed to major gallery showcases, including Hero Complex Gallery's 2021 New York Comic-Con lineup, demonstrating his growing prominence in the collectible poster scene.
Castro Maia's visual approach emphasizes sophisticated color palettes and cinematic composition, evident in his notable works for cult classics like Jackie Brown and Road to Perdition. His Road to Perdition poster, executed as a licensed 4-color screen-print, showcases his ability to distill complex narratives into striking visual statements. The artist's portfolio spans both mainstream and art house cinema, with pieces like "On the Road In the Winter of 1931" revealing his range beyond traditional movie poster commissions into more experimental territory.
Collectors gravitate toward Castro Maia's work for its deliberate scarcity and professional execution. His prints typically feature modest edition sizes, with his Jackie Brown piece limited to 165 copies and Road to Perdition restricted to just 85 prints. These small runs, combined with gallery-quality paper and professional screen-print production, create immediate collectibility. Castro Maia also produces exclusive metallic variants in even smaller quantities, such as his Classic Silver Metallic edition limited to only 8 copies, making his work particularly appealing to collectors seeking both artistic merit and investment potential.
