Hello karolina_5-ga,
This has been a most frustrating search. After several hours I have
not been able to come up with any additional biographic information
about J. Roybal/Raybal beyond the one reference you already have. This
is very troubling since any reputable artist?s biography should be
readily available but I haven?t been able to find anything meaningful
on the many websites that sell works by this artist. This may be
entirely intentional.
I found that the J. Roybal paintings are mass produced and
manufactured in China and available from several sources for extremely
low prices. These are then sold in galleries and through auctions
(galleries and online) for incredibly varied prices. Anyone buying any
of these paintings should be extremely careful.
The Chinese manufacturers reproduce works from all types of artists,
many of them very famous. The original works of these artists can be
identified and located. I?m amazed that after hours of digging I have
not been able to find anything on J. Roybal from a reliable or
reputable source. This artist does not appear in any artist
directories or other usual sources for artists? biographies. I have
not been able to find a single museum or gallery that claims to
exhibit an original work from J. Roybal that can be verified as not
being one of the mass-produced paintings.
It?s interesting that J. Roybal?s work is extremely similar to that of
Graciela Rodo Boulanger. On some sites it?s even advertised as
Boulanger style. I?ve included some links so you can explore
Boulanger?s works.
So, karolina_5-ga, I regret to tell you that after hours and hours of
digging I haven?t been able to find an answer to your original
question of who is J. Roybal and where can the originals of his work
be viewed or purchased. This has been an intriguing wild goose chase.
I trust that the negative findings will help.

http://www.imagetrove.com
Imagetrove.com was formed in late 2001 by the Owners of Professional
Art And Framing Services Inc. (P.A.A.F.S Inc.) in order to present
original art to the public by real living artists.
Art galleries and picture frame shops often present to the public
artwork which is manufactured and marketed by large national
publishers. These works are either reproductions of works in museum
collections or contemporary artists who are in a particular
publishers stable of contracted artists. There are any number of such
publishers and there are of course many works of art to choose from.
Sometimes artwork is cunningly crafted to appeal to the heartstings or
the common taste just like any other consumer product. However, you
the art viewing and art purchasing public tend to get the same images
over and over or a homogenous collection of work representing the
taste and sometimes political or cultural views of those publishers.
What you do not see are the thousands of artists who are not part of
that corporate mechanism and we are all the poorer for it.
Therefore our mission is to bring to you the work of local, regional,
national, or internations artists who are not part of that homogenous
corporate machine, and to let you decide if they are fabulous and
talented or merely adequate.
