_______________

Romulo Royo is a Spanish artist of international standing, with a unique and distinctive pictorial language inspired by and drawing on diverse global and historical references. His work intertwines classical mythology and cinematic fantasy with illustration and comics from the 1970s and 1980s, reinterpreted from a contemporary perspective.

He has built a world of his own, containing infinite universes. His body of work could be described as a new fantastical style, with glimmers of a new surrealism.

These rich visual and narrative traditions immerse us in a world of dreams, in which the female gaze takes on a hypnotic prominence, positioning itself as the mystical, enigmatic protagonist.

Romulo Royo presents us with a space that transcends conventional understanding, a space that shifts between the future and the past, creating dreamlike and sometimes apocalyptic universes. His artistic discourse moves between delicacy, strength and eroticism, juxtaposed with mystery and death.

Every scene invites the viewer to construct their own story, becoming an exercise in visual language. There is no linear, delineated message; his pieces encourage us to immerse ourselves in our own imagination and formulate our own discourse. An introspective journey that defies the limits of space and time, revealing the depth and complexity of the human experience.
