Painter from Guipuzcoa, born in San Sebastian in 1968.
Graduated in Applied Arts in Zaragoza in 1989. From 1987-89 he attended a series of painting workshops at Arteleku in San Sebastian, directed by the artists Zumeta, Villalba and Canogar, and studied lithography and printmaking with Don Herbert.
Since 1987 he has had solo exhibitions in San Sebastian, Andoain, Errenteria, Zarautz and Zizurkil, including Keinuka at the Vice-rectorate of the UPV (University of the Basque Country) in San Sebastian and Sasi Bidetan at the Durango Art Museum in 2000. He took part in Getxoarte in Getxo (Bizkaia) on two occasions with Puskak in 2001 and with Koropiloak in 2002. In 2003 he exhibited at the Municipal Library of Barakaldo time and at the Casa de Cultura Barrena in Ordizia he presented Eszeptikoarena and in 2004 Lettres sur la danse at the Palacio Aranburu in Tolosa, an exhibition in which he combined contrasting colours with abstract, pointillist and other very graphic elements. Aranzabal introduces the visual graphic image for the first time in this exhibition.
The trajectory of this artist is based on expressionist aesthetic approaches, with a lot of matter, with an emphasis on volume and textures in which a search for a personal language can already be glimpsed. His painting is gestural, with chromatic games, stains and splashes. The artist himself defines his work as vital and energetic. In the Keinuka series he presents diptychs and lithographs for which the artist uses psychic automatism for their ution, the hand is carried away unconsciously and quickly by a form. In the exhibition at Barrena Kultur Etxea, the artist exhibits large cardboards in which a certain aspect of a forest or chaotic element is suggested. There are also medium-sized works and acrylics in which the real protagonist is colour, which is very vivid.
Another important change in his evolution is the exhibition Lettres sur la danse in which the artist delves with his Kartoigrafiak, in a staging of dance movements using photography and painting in a very suggestive way in the search for a relationship the world and the human body, chance and randomness.
