Exhibition Overview
“Faces & Façades” showcases new artworks by Arroyo, serving as a tribute to the uptown community and the women who play a vital role in it. The paintings blend organic and non-organic forms, drawing inspiration from both the female body and the architectural features of uptown buildings.
Arroyo’s artistic process includes photographing unique architectural elements—such as arched doorways and ornate iron gates—which form the basis for her intricate paintings. This exhibition highlights her improvisational approach, where she engages with her community while creating what she describes as “lyrical documentation.”
