Eduardo Arroyo's ‘Painted Biography' is the new exhibition in Cascais Cultural Centre
The Cascais Cultural Centre opens 'A Painted Biography' on Friday, June 6th – a dedicated exhibition celebrating Eduardo Arroyo, an unmissable figure in 20th-century Spanish art. Organised by the D. Luís I Foundation and Cascais City Council as part of the Bairro dos Museus programme, the show runs until September 7th. Eduardo Arroyo (1937–2018) was known for work steeped in social and political critique, always delivered through a vivid figurative visual language packed with nods to popular culture. Over more than six decades, his practice spanned painting, sculpture, stage design, and illustration, marked by bold colours and powerful symbolism. Curated by Marisa Oropesa, the exhibition features over 40 pieces created from the mid-60s through to 2018. The title echoes Arroyo's own words about his approach: 'In truth, painting is an autobiographical process. You're constantly painting your life… there is, undoubtedly, a very close relationship with one's own life. It's a painted biography.' The works gathered for this exhibition come from private collections and major Spanish institutions such as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Villanueva de los Infantes, and the Colección Azcona. Highlights include El último exilio (1963), Los cuatro dictadores (1963), and Robinson Crusoe (1966) – all from the Reina Sofía's collection – alongside pieces where Arroyo experiments with collage techniques and pays tribute to European literary and cultural references. The exhibition traces the various phases of the artist's career, from his years in exile in Paris – due to his opposition to Franco's dictatorship – to a later, more intimate and ironic production, engaging with literature, cinema, history, and music. According to curator Marisa Oropesa, 'an essential element in Arroyo's iconography is undoubtedly Spanish folklore, to which he gives a new meaning.'

Seahawks rookie TE Elijah Arroyo shines at Seahawks OTA practice
Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo is attempting to make his presence felt at practice. On Thursday, the Seahawks hosted their final OTA that's open to the media. Arroyo took full advantage of the extra eyes in attendance. Arroyo caught a touchdown and made a handful of other long catches, according to Corbin K. Smith. Seahawks general manager John Schneider selected Arroyo with the No. 50 overall pick in the 2025 NFL draft. The expectation is that Arroyo will make an immediate impact in Klint Kubiak's offense while serving as a big-play threat for new starting QB Sam Darnold. Thursday's OTA practice offered a glimpse into that possibility. Advertisement Arroyo is jockeying for positioning on a loaded Seahawks depth chart at tight end. The former Miami Hurricanes standout is attempting to earn snaps while competing with veteran Noah Fant and sophomore AJ Barner at the position. Plays like the ones he made at Thursday's practice helps. Arroyo recorded 35 receptions for 590 yards and seven touchdowns at Miami this past college football season. The athletic pass catcher measured in with a pro-ready 6-foot-5 and 250 pound frame at the NFL Combine. Mike Macdonald, Kubiak, and all parties involved are pleased with the progress Arroyo has displayed at OTAs, with mandatory minicamp and training camp lurking around the corner.

Five Mental Models For Resilient Leadership In Times Of Change
We live in a world that won't sit still. Tech leaps weekly. Politics go Orwellian. The climate is boiling. The economy rolls like a slot machine. And still we're expected to lead, build, create in this context. That's why, especially in times of great change, many look to frameworks and methodologies to regain a sense of clarity. Recently, Nicolas Francisco Arroyo of the strategy and design firm Manyone shared a curated set of five mental models that, together, offer a powerful lens through which leaders can approach complexity, build resilience, and drive meaningful progress. 'I spent the last few months looking for concepts that help me not just cope, but think clearer, move smarter, and lead braver in this chaos,' said Arroyo. 'What I found isn't a framework. It's not a method. It's a mindset. A mental infrastructure. A collection of sharp lenses to see the mess and find ways through it.' So here are 5 ideas that won't fix the future, but they might just help you shape it. These are not rigid tools. They are conceptual anchors, drawn from systems theory, philosophy, and biology, that can help individuals and organizations evolve rather than simply endure. Coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, the idea of antifragility goes beyond resilience. Whereas resilient systems withstand shocks, antifragile ones actually grow stronger because of them. The classic metaphor is the immune system and how it must encounter stressors to adapt and build strength. As Arroyo puts it, 'In volatile times, fragility breaks, robustness resists but only antifragility learns and grows.' In a family office context, this means not shielding structures or successors from every potential threat, but rather designing governance and operations to adapt under pressure. Exposure to well-calibrated risks can be a form of long-term investment in capability. Chaos and instability are not always enemies. They are often the catalysts of the next evolution. From Chilean biologists Humberto Maturana and Francisco Varela comes the concept of autopoiesis. This is the capacity of living systems to self-maintain, adapt, and evolve from within. Cut your skin, and it heals. No command needed. Applied to leadership, this mental model suggests the most resilient organizations are not top-down, but rather cellular. Think decentralized decision-making, empowered teams, and cultures that regenerate in response to change. For family offices transitioning between generations, building internal capacity and adaptability may matter more than legacy processes. Borrowed from complexity theory and championed by author Steven Johnson, the adjacent possible suggests that transformative innovation often comes from small, near-term combinations of existing elements. Those who are driving radical change don't try to predict the distant future with total certainty, but they continuously push the boundaries of what's possible by experimenting, iterating, and making connections between already existing ideas, in order to build momentum, learn from mistakes and incrementally steer change towards a desired direction. The same applies to individuals: the best way to future-proof yourself isn't by trying to guess what's the next big thing in a distant future , but by constantly expanding your own 'adjacent possible' through learning, new experiences, and interdisciplinary thinking. By exponentially growing your own curiosity towards the world. Consider the iPhone. It was not a leap into the unknown, but a brilliant recombination of known technologies. In business, especially during chaotic periods, the path forward may not require a moonshot but rather a door already ajar. In a world obsessed with the next big thing, the Lindy Effect tells us: don't just ask what's new, ask what's stood the test of time. According to Arroyo, 'The future isn't only built from what's next. It's also built on what refuses to die.' The longer an idea, practice, or institution has survived, the longer it likely will. Not everything new is better and not everything old is obsolete. Meditations by Marcus Aurelius remains a bestseller not because it's ancient, but because it's timeless. In wealth strategy, too, enduring principles such as stewardship, discipline, intergenerational perspective, often outlast fast-moving trends. Finally, from the world of sports psychology comes playing hurt. This is the act of showing up, performing, and leading despite setbacks or discomfort. Waiting for perfect timing or conditions is often fear in disguise. We keep telling ourselves we'll act when we feel ready. But readiness is a myth. The people who shape the future aren't the ones who wait, they're the ones who step in, imperfect and in motion. Play hurt. Or sit out. Those are the options. Think of Olympic gymnast Kerri Strug landing a gold-winning vault on an injured ankle. Or of countless entrepreneurs and principals making tough calls without all the data. True leadership isn't about pristine conditions. It's about stepping forward when it matters most. Mental resilience is doing the hard thing when it matters, not when it's easy. What unites these five mental models is their refusal to be passive. Each insists that strength, clarity, and progress are possible even in uncertainty. In the fragmented, opaque world of wealth and leadership, where long-term thinking meets constant change, these ideas offer more than comfort. They offer direction. As Arroyo puts it, 'We treat uncertainty like a glitch in the system. But it's the system. Nature evolves through randomness. Innovation comes from noise. Even your brain relies on prediction errors to learn.' We don't need a fixed map. We need a new way of seeing the terrain.
