Eduardo Kingman served as principal professor at Quito's Escuela de Bellas Artes (School of Fine Arts) as well as Director of the Museo Colonial de Quito for a period of twenty years. Kingman founded the Caspicara Gallery in Quito in 1940. His original prints and paintings were on sale in Paris, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, Mexico City, and Bogotá at this time and later. At the United Nations, New York City, Kingman's art was honoured at the end of his career.
The unifying theme of Kingman's paintings, lithographies, and woodcuts was to reflect Ecuador's indigenous peoples' socioeconomic reality. He was known as "the painter of hands."
In addition, Kingman served as a writer and social activist.
He died in Quito in 1998. Two of his paintings were stolen from the Posada de las Artes Kingman Museum in 2003 but they were fortunately recovered.
