Eduardo Arroyo is an autodidact, artist educated artist, located in the so called "narrative imagination" of the second half of the 20th century. Eduardo Arroyo's pictures are, often, stagings of a dramatic action, capable of generating in the spectator the idea of a plot. Across a few curtains of red velvet we enter a space that will be called "Theatre Arroyo", in it there is a recreation of one of the sceneries that Eduardo Arroyo realized, in the year 1973. After penetrating the curtains, we face a surprising image. The floor is full of shoes that so often he was painting in multitude of pictures. Arranged by the room there are also a few stairs with a few envelopes of wood like desks inside the scenic environment. Gathering Francisco Calvo Serraller's idea of creating the "Dictionary of ideas received of the painter Eduardo Arroyo", scenes will be generated from a dictionary extracted from the works of the painter, and like a vocabulary it will help us to compose our work, or picture. We will work these images of reference made on a white carton, with a felt-tip pen of paintbrush referring to the painter - writer who exists in the figure of the artist. It will be necessary to take into the account the tittle of the work is going to be realized that it will be the startives point since in Arroyo’s work is as important as his painting. The support of work will be a format of cardboard, with a fold in the half to separate floor and bottom. This way the scene of every participant, will be composed according to the story that each one has invented. The objects in the picture will be put and distributed taking into account; the scale, proximity of the things, and the empty space, as well as the bottom and the floor of the picture - scene. When we have our work made, we will place it in a few small stages like a theatre that exists in one of the walls of the workshop. This way and on having been illuminated we will be able to observe the effect that is created. In order this effect to be portable we will have a box - scene in which we will be able to place our work and to be able to transport it. .
