THE CONVERGENCE OF THE BEING IN SPACE-TIME
ARTÍFICE GALLERY
Arroyave's work is based on the reinvention of being through travel; from the detachment of the interactions that define us as a reflection of previously conceived information, thus reaching empty spaces where time disappears and we are allowed to blur to adopt new forms. His series titled Timeline, of greater magnitude and recognition, reflects that temporary inexistence, generating the notion of time-space from the interactions of people or objects that inhabit or act in a specific place. Likewise, it captures the innate elegance of seemingly ordinary leisure actions. Arroyave highlights and accentuates the human body and its athleticism through its themes ranging from cliff divers, synchronized swimmers, water polo players and paddle surfers. In this way, vast landscapes are created that expand that space as a result of the accumulation of interactions that are generated in it, and these, in turn, are synthesized in a single timeless moment.

Portraying our humanity from high perspectives, evidencing with a wide angle view the non-existence of our individuality, creating spaces where we perceive ourselves as a macro organism, as a large human tissue.
