Raul Arroyo was born in 1977 in the San Pablo industrial district of Seville and studied Fine Arts, specializing in Painting. Throughout his career, he has worked as an illustrator and animator. While still an undergraduate, he collaborated on independent comic initiatives, produced illustrations for children’s books and scientific illustration, and began drawing at an independent animation studio that later became Dibus Animados S. L. After this initial stage, he worked as animation director for the same company on various television series, feature films, advertising projects, and educational videos, among others.

In 2002 he left Seville and moved to Barcelona, where he worked as a freelance artist on various productions for different studios. At the same time, he created his first audiovisual work, Cada dia paso por aquí (2004), which led him to collaborate on projects for institutions such as the Archaeological Museum of Almería and the CCCB. Until 2013, he worked as an animator, animation director, or animation designer on a large number of television series such as Bienvenidos al Mundo Patata and La Lua i el Món, as well as a storyboard artist for the series Arròs covat and Misha the Purple Cat.

In 2014 he returned to Seville, where he continued collaborating on animated series such as Moolang and taking on advertising commissions, including illustrations for 5J. In 2015 he worked as an animator on the short film Araan, directed by Jorge Dayas. Two years later, he collaborated again with the director on his subsequent project.
