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. The model’s almost portrait-like treatment is 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.
