Gaudi, Dalí, Picasso, Miró, and Tàpies are among its most celebrated artists. The latest among them, born in Barcelona and still living there, is Eduardo Arranz-Bravo. With all these artists, Arranz-Bravo shares a passionate desire to paint, a visceral creativity, and outstanding technical skills. His art, like theirs, is unique, inventive, challenging, and in constant evolution. "Life is like a river," Arranz-Bravo tells us, "it is something you can live from. A river can never live with the water of twenty years ago, now it is living with the present water. I think I am like a river. Nobody can stop this river." Arranz-Bravo was born in 1941. During a trip to Paris in 1958, the 17-year old artist's painting departed from his conventional artistic training - he began to tirelessly churn out radically abstract works.
