Francisco Arroyo Ceballos Biography

Cordoba, Spain, 1967

Emerging Spanish painter, Francisco Arroyo Ceballos blends MINIMALISM with ABSTRACT art, in his beautiful oil paintings.

The artist says that his work and technique "are developed in multiple lines intertwined by the feeling of the moment but always within the abstract and using oil paints as the main element."

A self-trained artist, Arroyo Ceballos forms part of the international group, ART AROUND THE WORLD, headquartered in the Miami - Power International Art Gallery. He is also a member of the Argentinean Society of Plastic Artists and of the International Federation of Plastic Artists ACEA'S, Barcelona. He has also participated in the DIN A4 project in Holland. Arroyo Ceballos is the Director of Artist Promotion of FAIM (Independent Art Fair in Madrid), the founder of the Artist Group "Colectivo Cero", and is the coordinator on Spain of the PAIG Museum of Miami.
