Jose ROYO is a spanish impressionist painter born in Valencia in 1941. He began demonstrating his artistic talent early. At the age of 9 his father, a prominent physician and avid art enthusiast, employed private tutors to instruct Royo in drawing, painting, and sculpture.
When Royo turned 14 he entered the San Carlos Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Valencia. Upon turning 18 Royo continued his artistic studies privately with Aldolfo Ferrer Amblat, Chairman of Art Studies at the San Carlos Academy.
He also visited the major museums in Europe at this time to study the famous masters-Velasquez, Goya, Renoir, Monet and Sorolla among others.
I first saw Jose Royo's paintings in Laguna Beach Ca. His paintings take my breath away. Amazing.
