Born
in 1941 in Valencia, Spain, Royo began demonstrating his artistic talent
early. At the age of 9 his father, a prominent physician and avid art
enthusiast, employed private tutors to instruct Royo in drawing, painting,
and sculpture. When Royo turned 14 he entered the San Carlos Royal Academy
of Fine Arts in Valencia. Upon turning 18 Royo continued his artistic
studies privately with Aldolfo Ferrer Amblat, Chairman of Art Studies at the
San Carlos Academy. He also visited the major museums in Europe at this time
to study the famous masters-Velasquez, Goya, Renoir, Monet, and Sorolla
among others.

Morena
The translation of “Morena”,
in English, could be “Tan” or “Brunette”. The artist intended the title
to refer to the model’s hair color but either translation could apply.
A
moment of quiet reverie is, for most of us in today’s fast-paced world,
an elusive luxury. Perhaps that is why we are so drawn to the artwork of
Royo…..he transports us to a peaceful place, one of tranquility and
beauty.
The
artist’s self-created paradise is in a small village near the city of
his birth in Valencia, Spain. His estate is a place of extraordinary
serenity, redolent with the smells and sights of fruit orchards and
flowers. It is a place which has been created over many years by the
artist and his family as their personal oasis.
