Arturo was born in Miami, Florida in October 19, 1957. He was raised in Puerto Rico, Venezuela and the United States. He attended High school in Venezuela and studied Architecture at the University of Nebraska in Lincoln. There, he obtained his Bachelor’s degree in Architecture in 1981 and his Masters in Architectural Design in 1984.
He has had a natural artistic talent since a young age and during his college years received formal art training. Even though he was painting with different Medias such as oils, pastels and pencil since he was thirteen years old in Venezuela, he developed great interest in mixed media and acrylics from his college years to today.
For the past ten years, Montoya has been developing his artwork based on his fascination for Time travel and the dematerialization of his subjects by, expressing multilevel meanings and phases in time. As, he believes: A painting is a sequence of moments frozen in time. Therefore, never finished but only recorded as the last stroke is completed.
Although, Arturo is a licensed architect in the State of Florida with over twenty five years of experience in the field of architecture and has designed costume homes, commercial and educational facilities, he is now pursuing his artwork as a main full time career.
