Louis Royo

Royo paints both beautiful women from the past with swords and futuristic with laserguns. He mixes love with war, beauty with risk, seduction with challange and passion with death. Women holding a masculine weapon in their hands is both dangerous and exciting. The images show their blatant feminity, yet seizes masculanity by the most delicate angle. Magic!

He should not be solely identified with beautiful women, death-defying men or fantastic images. He is also restless and in pursuit of a challange. His work alternates from commission to experimentation that has granted him international acclaim and the huge canvasses that border on abstraction. He is an artist of resolution, as well as proposal. Without this risky facet, without Royo's hidden agenda of diversity and experimentation, his women wouldn't be as female and the fantasy in his artwork would eventually exhaust itself.
