Art is not what I do. It's who I am.

From an early age, drawing and painting were a natural part of Steve Kustro's life. Although his artistic interests received little encouragement during his school years, his fascination with creativity never disappeared.

What began as a childhood interest gradually developed into a deeper appreciation of painting, photography and visual storytelling. Through personal exploration, Steve discovered new ways to express his ideas and capture the world around him.

Steve's photography received international recognition, including Third Prize in Professional Architecture at the 2018 Monochrome Photography Awards. Further distinctions followed through The Mono Awards and selection as a finalist in the 2019 Gosford Art Prize.

KUSTRO Gallery brings together a lifetime of artistic exploration. Combining original paintings, fine art photography and contemporary digital art, including AI-assisted creation, the gallery represents a new chapter in Steve's creative journey.
