Roland Castro (Feb. 1948 - August 2005)
Photographer, professor at the “École supérieure des Arts Saint-Luc” in Liège. A couple of days before he passed away, he told us how delighted he was with the creation of Eurobrom, the forerunner of Picto Benelux, and sent us his wishes of success. If Picto Benelux exists, it is also a little bit thanks to him.
