Over his nearly eight decades of life, Valencia, Spain-born artist Royo has created a style almost immediately recognizable as Royo. While the artist’s themes and subject matter have changed, shifted and evolved over the years, his skillful use of brushstrokes and unique implementation of color have remained pillars in his art career.

The artist, who often returns again and again to equine subject matter and depictions of women, has an upcoming exhibition at Cutter & Cutter Fine Art in St. Augustine, Florida, opening March 20 with a special artist’s reception. Royo’s latest body of work captures the dazzling nature of both the horse and the female form—among other subjects like fruits and florals—pairing the two together in ways that complement the innate energy of each entity. These works are a return to a major series Royo had begun several years ago called EQUUS, an ambitious endeavor in which the artist sought to channel the work of Leonardo da Vinci and his portrayal of “equine power.”

“Royo has truly put his heart and soul into this collection and we hope it moves you, inspires you and strikes an emotion within your own heart and soul,” says the Cutter family, who own and operate Cutter & Cutter Fine Art.
His artwork is imbued with power, capturing in precise detail the physical forms of his subjects while maintaining a skillful sense of composition, color, light and shadow. “This new body of work justifies a whole life painting. What connects themes together are women and sensuality,” says Royo. “Inspiration is life.”
