Vicente Arnás is a painter from Madrid who began his artistic career linked to the world of advertising. After several years of experience, in 1976, he had his first individual exhibition, which was held in the Macarrón gallery in Madrid. After the success of his first exhibition, he began an exhibition career that has taken him to places such as New York and different European countries. He has participated in prestigious fairs such as Arco, or Europ Art, held in Geneva. In addition, he has been awarded on numerous occasions, being medal of honour in the BMW painting prize and receiving the prize of the Real maestranza of Seville, among others. This has earned him the recognition of both the public and the critics. His painting is characterised by the recreation of dreamlike, placid worlds, where time seems to stand still. He creates worlds of realistic aesthetics, close to currents such as magical realism, or to influences such as those of the painter Arcimboldo or Bosch. For a period he was part of the group "Nueve expresiones" with whom he exhibited in several collective exhibitions.
