Eduardo Arroyo
Painter, sculptor and designer born in Madrid in 1937 that is considered one of the main representatives of the Spanish figurative linked to 'pop-art'.
National Arts Award in 1982 and the Gold Medal for Merit in Fine Arts in 2000, his works hang in the most renowned Spanish museums.
His first flirtation with painting made as a cartoonist in Paris in 1957.
Three years later and lived in the painting, which he combined with craft of writing, his first vocation, which continues to this day.
In the beginning chose a figurative style which later led to a vivid coloring technique and stroke smoother, more typical of 'pop art'.

Eduardo Arroyo is tireless, for him there is relaxation.
He is restless, nervous, obsessive and somewhat distracted.
We have labeled a reactionary and is doubly true rebel since demystifies great teachers and advocates the role of the market as a protector and art thermometer in front of the museum network and influences borne with public money.
Arroyo is the author of large canvases, as 'Carmen Amaya handle sardines at the Waldorf Astoria' that is exposed at the Museo Reina Sofia in Madrid and 'Velázquez, my father'.
Just as, 'Spanish Caballero' where topics ridicules and reinterprets Spanish surrealist touches.
His activity as a designer, facet which is claimed by its creativity, started with filmmaker Klaus Gruber, and had one of his milestones in 1982 with 'Life is a Dream' by Calderon de la Barca, under the direction of José Luis Gomez.
It is an internationally important artist whose maternal origins come from our region, being the paternal Leon mining area.
There he spent every summer because, he says, is a particular terrain, strange and exciting that has been of interest since childhood.
