Rovandi paints in the Italian Renaissance style, building his compositions from rough forms to vivid realism. Oil paint is applied in numerous layers with fine brush work accentuating chiaroscuro.

Rovandi’s subjects are usually unclothed forms whose warm skin tones contrast dramatically with strong shadows cast from an unseen light. Despite the drama, the mood is meditative and serene.
