Arroyo will exhibit pyramid works of his authorship created in the last three years and will participate with a conference
Chromatic Pyramidism is a new pictorial movement created by the Ecuadorian master Gotasi about ten years ago and whose foundation gives a very characteristic way of interweaving brushstrokes, lines and colors, creating fabrics of unmistakable shapes, which can not only give realism, surrealism or abstractionism; but they can reach hyperrealism by taking up the planes, volumes, rhythms, statics and movement, always preserving that pyramidal and chromatic staggered character and of course, in a very special way, the “vibration” of the elements.
It is the new
pictorial current for the history of the new avant-garde, which weaves together
all the currents without copying or representing them precisely, with a
homogeneous atmosphere, both objective and subjective, but with a peculiarity
not only of thematic significance, but of visual richness and that visualizes
each particle that forms the depth of the perspective or the plane of each
object.
PYRAMIDISM finds
infinite combinations and revives the color on the canvases, formulates different
equations, dimensions and shapes.
It has been
expanding significantly in recent years. Proof of this are the references that
we can find not only in America but in Asia, Africa and Europe.
With respect
to Europe, it should be noted that it was born from the support or
collaboration between Gotasi, creator of the movement, and the prominent
Spanish multidisciplinary artist Arroyo Ceballos, who appears to us as the
European precursor of this movement. Later other artists would arrive in Spain,
among which we highlight José DomÃnguez.
Arroyo focuses
the European movement on the artistic level since we remember that depending on
the country or type of culture there are others that not only argue for
pyramidism in this artistic sense but also in the religious, spiritual, or even
musical sense.

Ceballos talks about his work:
"The
fullness of space, the sense of forms, certainly reach their maximum apogee in
the mind of the creator. If we add to this the firm obsession with creating
"the work", the one that everyone dreams of and very few manage to
achieve, we can say at the very least that we are faced with an elaborate work,
designed in concept and a firm hoarder of formal figurative-symbolic elements,
which without a doubt form the basis, together with tonality and a mixed
technique, the basis and support of all my work.
The key to it
is simplicity, the smooth transmission of a whole within the purity of basic
strokes and the use of a particular mixed technique that gives the work the
desired relief and texture. A substantial inclination towards everything that
minimalism entails taken in the broad sense of the word, in the broad sense of
its meaning and predicate.
My bet focuses
on the investigation of a material universe in which the pyramidal projection
is the fundamental basis, in which movement and vibration give meaning and mark
the path to each work of art, in which the creator synthesizes the elements and
directs them to the viewer transmuting them in the form of abstraction so that
he himself voluntarily becomes a participant in the creative process through
the assimilation of his own reality and the conceptualization of the great
spectral field represented.
On the other
hand, and with respect to the pyramid movement, he tells us:
"There is
no doubt that this movement is acquiring character and meaning, even more so
after its presentation at the United Nations. The presentation of maestro
Gotasi at the UN has been a before and after in this artistic movement since it
represents recognition of the work carried out by so many artists in so many
countries. It represents cultural unity and positivism.
“Europe has
always been open to new artistic trends and styles and there is no doubt that
Pyramidism represents the entry of fresh air into this difficult world of art.”
