Enio Arroyo Gomez (b. 1982, Nicoya, Costa Rica) currently lives and works in Colombia. He received his MFA in Scenography and Sculpture from The National University of La Plata in Argentina (2013) and his BA from Universidad Internacional de las Américas in Costa Rica (2005). He performed and exhibited at the National Gallery of Costa Rica, Spring Break Art Show, The Arrival Art Fair, On the Fringe Gallery in Tribeca, and other galleries primarily in Argentina and Costa Rica. Enio’s work is held in the permanent collection of The National Gallery of Costa Rica and Eileen S. Kaminsky Family Foundation. His work has been reviewed in The Brooklyn Rail and Hyperallergic.

Enio’s practice uses play to access subconscious impulses and test how images distort reality. Through drawing as a daily ritual, he constructs a deliberately naïve visual language that resists accurate representation while masking deeper tensions. Across series, Enio uses ambidextrous drawing, automatic sketches, and chance to disrupt control and generate unstable narratives. Working across media, he explores desire, violence, and fear through distorted figures and allegory, where seemingly innocent scenes reveal concealed psychological and moral conflict.
