The Work of Royo

Born in 1941 in Valencia, Spain, Royo began demonstrating his artistic talent early. During the mid-60's-early 70's Royo added more dimensions to his skills creating theatre sets and doing graphic illustration and restoration work. At the age of 25 Royo began feeling a growing desire to paint the land of his birth; to convey the light, the color and the intensity of Valencia and the Mediterranean. Beginning in 1989 and continuing until today we see the development of Royo's "matured" style: His dramatic use of color and "texturing" capture his subject matter with unique flair.
