The Material of Dreams

As far back as I can remember, art in various mediums has always fascinated me; as a child, I enjoyed drawing and painting. My visual affinity for arts and aesthetics led me to choose a career and fulfilment as a cosmetic dentist. I found fulfilment in giving and assisting my patient in achieving the confident and beautiful smile that they desired.

Artistic Realization

Visual creativity appears to be built into me, a passion written into my DNA that never ceases to amaze and flow through me.

Outside from my commitment to my private dentistry career and running a successful private practice, I decided to pursue my passion for art. Over the years, I continually took several visual arts lessons and short courses on different Arts and Paintings studies. Using a variety of media and subject, I painted different subjects including: landscape photorealism, Still Life, Abstracts, and Life drawings and painted on a large scale in both Oil or Acrylic. My favourite is Abstract painting.

In late 2015 I found photography and I love every part of the craft, and I soon found that what I lack in knowledge and technique, it make up for with my inherent artistic inclination, talent, intuitive visual acuity and earlier art studies. Even in just short span of less than a year doing and learning the craft of photography, my works showed strong artistic merit. I won multitude awards and honours from my photographic works.

My love for photography and for the beauty in the world lead me to travelled extensively throughout the world and captured anything and everything that resonated with me.

My photography spans many different genres, From minimalist snaps of landscape to travel documentayy and cultural portraits.

My Passion for Black and White Photography

Black and white photography has been a romantic medium since its inception. That romance lives on today, with black and white photography being easier and more accessible than ever.

Color and black-and-white photography, according to American Black and White photographer Edward Weston, were two different means to different ends with nothing in common. Furthermore, author of How to look at photographs: reflections on the art of seeing Black and White Photographer David Finn states: “In some respects black-and-white photographs are more ‘real’ than colour photographs because they represent the subject without embellishment.

They speak to the viewer more simply and directly, and their images appear more authentic. Color photographs, on the other hand, are more ‘real’ because they are closer to what we actually see.”

Black-and-white photography is timeless, but it also transcends reality, transforming an image into a realm that is neither abstraction nor reality. A black-and-white image deconstructs and simplifies a scene to its forms and tones.

Art and Photographic Style

My continued love of brightly coloured abstract art and painting was balanced by my strong interest in monochrome black and white photography. My artworks is like “ying and yang”.

I have a wide range of photographic interests, including landscapes, still lives, wildlife and horses, travel documentary and cultural portraits, genre scenes, and so on. During the early years, I photographed and learned at the same time, mostly through trial and error.

Despite by my inexperience, my early photographs demonstrated careful composition and sensitivity to expressionistic photographs and won several photographic awards internationally. My award-winning photographs are mostly in black and white.

The Story and the Inspiration Behind Heart & Soul Whisperer Art Gallery

It didn’t take long for me to realise that I have a passion for creating beauty in this world after spending over 30 years as a Cosmetic Dentist helping patients have a beautiful smile. My job has allowed me to meet people from all walks of life, and the more people I meet, the more I realise how uniquely and spectacularly created we all are.

The realisation that each person is unique, with their own path and story, has fueled my inspiration as an artist and photographer, Heart and Soul Whisperer Art Gallery.

I’ve always been a visual and artistic person, and the Heart & Soul Whisperer online art gallery allows me to finally pursue my dreams.

Every one of us has a story to tell, and my art is about finding your place in this sometimes chaotic world. It is my hope that you will find yourself and enter a new world here, or that you will take a moment to appreciate and connect with the wonders and harmony of nature and realise that there is something bigger than us.

This passion project, “Heart & Soul Whisperer Art Gallery,” was created to assist you in finding empowerment as you move closer to discovering your ultimate destiny and how you can add a spark of magic to this world, as well as searching for what truly matters.

Learning that sometimes the best decisions come from the heart. Listening to your inner whispers, whether it’s making a life-changing decision or simply selecting a Cosmetic Dentist or an Art, is a reminder that our deepest wisdom lives within us. The answers we seek can be found within.

Listen to your Heart Whispers is about leaning into our heart’s wisdom and allowing our big decisions to emerge from that pure place.

The wedding smile makeover guide for the Bride & Groom

The Power Of A Great Smile

The pictures taken at weddings are those most often held and looked at in the future. For some people, it will be their only record of you, and you want it to be a good one.

But it’s not just about appearance. It’s about being able to enjoy the day. If you are unhappy with your smile, you’ll be constantly self-conscious, which can make it hard to smile. And if you’re not feeling free to smile, you’re not really enjoying yourself.

Benefits can Last a Lifetime

Unlike many things you spend on for your wedding–food, drink, hair, dresses, and tuxes, for example–a wedding smile makeover is something that can benefit you for your lifetime. The results of your smile makeover can last for weeks, months, years, and even decades after the wedding.

In some cases, the benefits may last a lifetime.

Transform your Smile with our PREPLESS OR NO-PREP PORCELAIN VENEER SPECIALS AND PACKAGE OFFER at $700 per tooth or from $45 weekly TLC payment plan* (Minimum 10 teeth to get this Veneer Package Specials)

What issues can a Wedding Smile Makeover correct?

There are a variety of dental issues that a wedding smile makeover can remedy. From cracked teeth to improper spacing, a wedding smile makeover can correct virtually any problem that is keeping you from having a great smile on your special day. Uneven, stained and missing teeth can all be fixed with a smile makeover, as well as improper bites. Vogue Smiles Melbourne utilizes state of the art cosmetic dentistry techniques to provide each of her patients with smiles that they can be proud of, and can brighten your wedding day smile as well.

What Cosmetic Treatments are used during a Smile Makeover?

Veneers, Invisalign, dental implants, Lumineers, and shaping techniques are all common treatments that are used during a wedding smile makeover. Each bride has their own particular dental issues, so each dental treatment plan will differ, depending upon your own personal needs. Our Vogue Smiles Dentist Dr Zenaidy Castro will begin the wedding smile makeover with a consultation, whereby she will go over what steps will need to be taken in order to achieve your best smile.

Add a healthy, beautiful smile to your wedding checklist! It’s an investment that will last a lifetime.

How soon before the wedding should the Brides, Grooms and Bridal Party get their Smile Makeover treatment?

Dental maintenance for your wedding day should be scheduled well advance, in order to avoid any last-minute procedures or treatments. Issues such as improper spacing or disproportionate teeth should be handled well before the special occasion, while treatments like veneers or whitening can be carried out just a few weeks prior. It’s typically a good idea to schedule an appointment to visit a dentist as soon as possible so that they can develop a smile makeover plan that will give you the perfect smile for your perfect day.

Why is a Wedding Smile Makeover the ideal choice?

Most brides dream of their wedding days from a very early age. They often pick out the dress years in advance and have an idea of how they are going to look on their exciting day, but few brides consider the fact that your smile is an important part of your appearance at your wedding. Given that it is a happy occasion, you will probably be smiling quite a bit throughout, and you’ll want to put forth your very best smile. A wedding smile makeover is a quick and cost-efficient way to make your smile glow and to perfectly show your groom just how joyful you are about the idea of starting your new life together.

Dr Zenaidy Castro-Dentist-Photographer-Heart and Soul Whisperer Art Gallery -Vogue Smiles Melbourne

Australian Photographer, Abstract Artist and Cosmetic Dentist Dr Zenaidy Castro

Meet Dr Zenaidy Castro, a passionate Australian Photographer. Also the Founder of Vogue Smiles Melbourne and Heart & Soul Whisperer Art Gallery

For the past 57 years, I have made a point of following my inspiration while chasing my life dreams. Art has always fascinated me as a child, and I loved drawing and painting.

Visual creativity fascinates me and it is a passion can’t help but follow. This fascination with art, artistic inclination and visual creativity led me in adulthood to be more passionate in cosmetic dentistry. I have been able to use this talent to help countless patients enjoy the smile they dreamed of—and now I aim to make people smile as a valuable piece of artwork. I find it personally rewarding and fulfilling to see the impact of the smile makeover I have made on my patient’s live – those beautiful smiles in which they are happy and proud of. It is a reward that money cannot buy!

Volunteering Works as a Dentist

Outside Dentistry, I love doing volunteering works overseas and my recent travel was giving free dental treatment at Kopan monastery in Nepal.

Passion for Photography

I began photography as part of my dental practice when I purchased my first DSLR camera to take before and after photos of my patients. The Olympus 5 megapixel camera was top of the line at the time way back 20 years ago, and I considers it a great investment in my dental practice because it allowed me to capture my patients’ satisfied, improved smiles. So my journey into photography began. I first became interested in photography when I attended a short photography course in Melbourne in August of 2015. I quickly realised that, while I lacked theoretical knowledge, my passion and natural affinity for visual creativity more than compensated. Years of painting and drawing provided me with a solid foundation, and I have experimented with various media. I have won nearly 50 photographic awards for my black and white photographs, both locally and internationally.

Love for Cultural Photography

I love taking photos to tell about people, daily life, or a culture.

Fascination with Abstract Art

I have been fascinated by abstract art and the creation of beauty since I was a child, when I recalls having a strong desire to discover new ways of creating and expressing beauty in all of its forms. However, I now realises that as an adult, my focus on my career and the pursuit of excellence in my professional life was quite narrow for many years. I pursued my dream of providing the best personal, customised service to my patients, and I derives great pride and satisfaction from providing them with excellent results. I sees this as yet another aspect of my lifelong pursuit of beauty: the advancement not only of cosmetic dentistry’s aesthetics, but also the resulting effect it has on my patients’ self-esteem and confidence.

Love for Horses and Equine Photography

Passion for Black and White Photography

Dreaming of more Adventure to remote places

Dreaming of travelling more to remote places around the world one day and doing more dentistry volunteering works.

Passion Project

My strong passion for travel and photography, lead me to found Heart & Soul Whisperer Art Gallery in 2017. I am proud that my photographic works have garnered recognition and an impressive number of photographic awards, locally and internationally.

The stuff of my Dreams

Growing up, I have always been amazed by the beauty nature provides us with everyday and everywhere, but understanding this beauty has yet remained a mystery. I have come to realize that beauty is meant to be “enjoyed”.

But some of us rarely have time to enjoy this beauty because of our busy schedules. Nine to six jobs do not allow some people wake up to catch the early morning sun rising in the East and gradually spread across the sky. There is no time to feed art-starved souls anymore.

Photographs never lie nor change. In a bid to help all lovers of nature quench this burning thirst for enjoying beauty, in 2017, I founded as a passion project, the Heart and Soul Whisperer Art Gallery.

Being determined to chase my dreams has always inspired me. One of her biggest dreams was to colour and spark the creativity in as many lives as possible with her art. With Heart and Soul Whisperer Art Gallery, this dream has been fulfilled. Just as I have sparked the creativity in mine, as you visit my art gallery, I hope to bring to life the creative artist in you. Bring alive the artist in you. When you see a photograph from my art gallery, let your imagination run wild and feed that art-starved soul!
