The language of the ceramist Marti Royo is inspired by nature and primitive ceramics. He excelled in the practice and teaching of the raku technique, a method of oriental origin based on a deep and random knowledge applied to the firing and finishing of clay. He invented kilns and processes for this technique.
His work is currently housed in the Museum of Ceramics in Barcelona, the National Museum of Ceramics in Valencia, the Manises Museum, the Museum of Modern Art in Tarragona and important collections of contemporary ceramics.
