Trained in Barcelona, Paris, Madrid, and Italy, Arranz held his first solo exhibition at the Club Universitario de Barcelona in 1961. In 1967, he moved away from the lyricism of his early period and embraced New Figuration. Starting in the 1970s, he formed an artistic partnership with Rafael Lozano Bartolozzi, with whom he would carry out artistic projects for over a decade that would leave their mark on the history of Spanish contemporary art. He has exhibited worldwide, and his awards include the Grand Prize and Gold Medal at the Ibiza International Biennial (1964), the Prize at the Second Sports Biennial (1964), the Figure Prize at the Estrada Saladich Biennial (1967), and the Ynglada Guillot Drawing Prize (1968). His work is included in the collections of MoMA in New York, the São Paulo Museum of Art, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Madrid, and the Fine Arts Museums of Vitoria and Seville.
