Romulo Royo‘s works were part of this past edition of ARCO Madrid 2012. In Hall 10, Stand 10E20, Miguel Marcos Gallery stand, pieces from his series Siameses and Malefic Time – Apocalypse, a colection in collaboration with Luis Royo, were on display for visitors at this great international contemporary art fair.
Malefic Time – Apocalypse
With Malefic Time, Romulo Royo delves into a narrative universe where dystopia and spirituality intertwine in an apocalyptic vision of the contemporary world. Together with Luis Royo, he conceives a transmedia saga that combines painting, illustration, literature, and music, shaping a unique cosmos inhabited by archetypal figures, ancient symbols, and cities transformed into end-of-times settings.
“The sky has fractured, and the cities crumble beneath an ancient silence.
Through the shadows walks Luz, bearer of a destiny she never asked for,
called to choose between the end and rebirth.
Angels and forgotten gods awaken, old prophecies come to pass,
and amid the chaos, a new light begins to burn.”
