Vicente Arnás is a painter from Madrid who began his artistic career in the world of advertising. After several years of experience, his first solo exhibition took place in 1976 at the Macarrón Gallery in Madrid. Following the success of his first exhibition, he embarked on an exhibition career that has taken him to places such as New York and various European countries. He has participated in prestigious art fairs such as ARCO and Europ Art, held in Geneva. In addition, he has received numerous awards, including the Medal of Honor at the BMW Painting Prize and the Real Maestranza de Sevilla Prize, among others. This has earned him recognition from both the public and critics. His painting is characterized by the recreation of dreamlike, serene worlds where time seems to stand still. He creates worlds with a realistic aesthetic, drawing on movements such as magical realism and influences from artists like Arcimboldo and Bosch. For a time, he was a member of the group “Nueve expresiones,” with whom he exhibited in several group shows.
