Luis Royo

Reality is merely an illusion, albeit a very persistent one. Albert Einstein 1879-1955.

the first time i heard of him, i was fascinated with what i heard. the first time i saw his art...i was speechless.

i love it...so much that i've been scouring for his art works all over the globe.unfortunately for me, they are all so expensive. huhuhu! sigh...
