The young man is immediately attracted by the power of the image. Engaged artist and critic, he tends to demystify the art with a pictorial ''speech'' converting him in an inspiring personality of the narrative figuration. The artist considers painting with ability as a storyteller. In 1958 - he is 20 years old - he marks his opposition to the Franco regime, he fled Spain and joins Paris where he lives until 1982. Arroyo returns to his native land only 15 years later, his obsession with exile and a history of conflicts have fueled his art, both controversial and suffused with irony and lyricism. The style of Eduardo Arroyo is intentionally neutral and easily readable. From the 70s, the artist uses painting techniques and ever more diverse subjects, creating puzzles, juxtapositions, building a universe and an imaginary specific to him. Eduardo Arroyo is also a scenic designer for theatre and a writer. Spanish artist Eduardo Arroyo died in his hometown of Madrid in October 2018; he was 81 years old.
