Royo’s dramatic use of color and texturing captures his subject matter with a unique flair. Parallels can be drawn to the work of the European masters. In Royo’s homage to the female form, we see the distinct influence of Renoir. It is a similar, almost portrait-like treatment of the female model, caught in a serene, contemplative moment, with the surrounding bursts of color from the floral landscapes where we see the Renoir in Royo’s work.
