Eduardo Naranjo, is one of Spains great painters, he was born in 1944 in Monastery (Badajoz).
He met his master Eduardo Acosta in 1957 and joined the School of Arts and Crafts where he studied until 1960. In the same year he entered the School of Fine Arts at The St. Elizabeth of Hungary.
In 1961 he moved to study at the Escuela de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid and that is where his education ends with classical paint.
His passion for expressionism forced him to study painting and engraving together attending classes at the Circulo de Bellas Artes. This was a beginning of his new direction; he was listed at the national Exhibition many times and received many accolades and praises.
He underwent a scholarship for teacher training organised by the Ministry of Education and Science, as well as for Castellblanch, having to go to Paris for a while for further studies. There he met many impressionists and avant-garde artists but this does not influence him to much, his passion was still cubism and Picassos neoclassicism.
In 1971 he began his realistic stage that continues to this day.
In addition to creating wondrous pieces of art and receiving many awards which are dedicated to the subject of scenery for example: ("La Casa de Bernarda Alba, Lorca," Tell me a story of the night "by Jorge Marquez). In 1986 he started making prints forms from the book "Poets in New York" by Federico Garcia Lorca, this edition expired in 1991. These unique pieces were exhibited for the first time in The Madrid Book Fair in 1987.
In 1991 he was awarded the distinguist honour "Extremadura Hoy" and the Gold Medal of Extremadura. In 1995 was also awarded the Military Cross for his contribution to the Arts and to services of the armed forces.
His work is sometimes a little disturbing and complex. His detail to drawing is perfect, transcendent and illusory. His contributions to the finished piece transmits a very special light, a colourful austere of realism, fantasy and imagination.
