Description: A Jose Royo Serigraph (Silkscreen), "Todas las Luces Del Dia". Born in 1941 in Valencia, Spain, Royo began demonstrating his artistic talent early. At 14 he entered the San Carlos Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Valencia and at 18 he continued his artistic studies with Aldolfo Ferrer Amblat, Chairman of Art Studies at the San Carlos Academy. During the mid-60's-early 70's Royo added more dimensions to his skills creating theatre sets and doing graphic illustration and restoration work. At the age of 25 Royo began feeling a growing desire to paint the land of his birth; to convey the light, the color and the intensity of Valencia and the Mediterranean. Through the 1980's Royo perfected his style of painting the Mediterranean and exhibited abroad. Beginning in 1989 and continuing until today we see the development of Royo's "matured" style, his dramatic use of color and "texturing" capture his subject matter with unique flair. Parallels can be drawn to the work of the European masters; for example, with Royo's "homage to the female form," we see the distinct influence of Renoir.

Additional Information: Serigraphy is the artist’s term used to describe the art of silk-screening, an adaptation of the ancient method of duplicating an image by stenciling. Today’s serigraph represents the highest evolution, and most complex manifestation of what is the simple process of stenciling. Each print is signed by the artist and numbered. An additional attribute of a serigraph is that, each print may vary slightly because it is printed by hand, and thus is considered to be a unique itself.
The translation of the paintings of Spanish master Royo, with their original brilliance and texture, into a graphic medium would have been impossible until now. Only with the most advanced methods of today’s serigraphy could one hope to capture the luminosity and feel of Royo’s work. Royo’s publisher and his agents, along with the artist, work very closely with their serigraphic atelier, whom they consider to be among the finest screenprinters in the world. Each application of ink through a screen onto a surface is achieved by hand. Royo’s serigraphs are among the most complex prints ever created by a major artist and studio.
The final prints have been able to capture the vibrancy, luminosity, texture and strength of the original painting, and yet they are a new and unique art form in and of themselves. Corrections of colors and details have been under the personal direction of the artist in order to assure the integrity of the final serigraph. The signature of the artist indicates his individual inspection and approval of each graphic work.
