Luis Royo was born
in Spain in 1954
and began his life
as an artist from
an early age.
As a young teenager
he had already learned
technical art and
by the age of 16,
he was devoting
his studies to painting
and interior design
and was working
on commissions from
various design studios.
Upon discovering
the art of Enki
Bilal and Moebius
in adult comics,
Royo followed in
their footsteps.
Four years after
the first gallery
exhibition of his
fantasy art in Paris,
the artist was working
for Heavy Metal
Magazine and being
commissioned to
paint cover art
for many publishers
including Tor and
Avon.
Royo's acclaim has
continued to grow,
and his work is
found on posters,
on tarot cards and
in books devoted
to his main passions:
women and fantasy.
Luis Royo now lives
in the Gothic Quarter
of Barcelona, Spain
where he has returned
to painting on canvas,
creating visions
of an ever more
personal nature.
