Jose Royo (Spanish, b. 1941) La Mandolina. Serigraph on archival paper, signed and numbered (102/205) below in pencil, professionally framed.

Royo is celebrated for his vibrant Mediterranean-inspired works that capture the light, color, and atmosphere of his homeland. Trained at the San Carlos Royal Academy of Fine Arts and under private tutelage, he initially gained acclaim for royal portraits and prominent commissions. By the 1980s, Royo shifted focus to depict the Valencia landscape, developing his signature style characterized by dramatic color, bold brushwork, and textured impasto. Influenced by masters like Renoir and Sorolla, Royo's work blends classical techniques with a modern flair, often highlighting serene female figures amidst luminous floral landscapes. His art evokes the sensory essence of the Mediterranean, earning him international recognition and exhibitions across Europe. Royo's paintings are celebrated for their ability to convey not just images but the mood and vitality of the Spanish coast.
