Marin Art Festival




    • June 16 at 10:00am until June 17 at 6:00pm
  • Nearly 250 fine artists will be gathering in a spectacular lagoon setting in the Marin Civic Center, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, fifteen minutes North of the Golden Gate Bridge.

    The Civic Center was one of Frank Lloyd Wright's last commissions and ranks among his finest Architectural marvels.  Not only does it serve as Marin County Seat and Court House, it also houses an exquisitely designed Theater, County Fair buildings, and is beautifully landscaped.  Here we see the famous Prairie Style transformed by an organic response to the rolling golden hills of Northern California into an undulating rolling mass of buildings that sit nicely respecting it's surroundings.


  • Marin County Civic Center

    One of the nicest features this facility has to offer is the lagoon and the grounds around it which are often used for special summer events such as the Marin Art Festival.  It is a humanizing water feature that will serve as an aqueous backdrop to the show.



    Besides the many fine artists, performing artists will entertain on two stages strategically located on both sides of the grounds thereby forming an axis of sound.  The producers ensure a discreet aural ambiance rather than the mind numbing noise that sometimes plague such venues.  Among the great musicians, Maria Muldaur stands out for her melodious voice and sweet lyrics like her signature "Midnight at the Oasis".

    The festival promises to be a visual extravaganza.  Plan on spending a good time.  This is not to be rushed.


    Romagosa Fine Arts will be showing original oil paintings and Giclee reproductions on canvas as well as on  archival paper.  Virginal Verge reproductions, shown below during it's creation, for example may be yours at a discounted price when you mention this blog.

    Juan Romagosa - Artist at Work

    Rock of Ages

    Rock of Ages
    20" x 16"
    Oil on Linen
    $3,100

    ROCK OF AGES
    by Juan Romagosa

    Even the rocks cry out
    Innocent love.
    Eternally now
    Timeless boulders ageless grow.

    Stone temple grove
    first kiss of love
    Neptune's cove
    doth childhood foster.

    Infant explorers nurture
    nature's secret treasure;
    God's pure pleasure.

    EXODUS

    EXODUS

    EXODUS
    18" x 24"
    Oil on Canvas

    Dedicated in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King
    "Exodus"
    #Poem 
    by Juan Romagosa

    Out of darkness
    from the storm
    leap out.

    Out of shadows
    from the darkness
    stretch out.

    Out of Heaven
    from the skies
    leap out.

    Freed from hallows
    past forlorn
    dash vast fields
    rapture out.

    Ascending, descending
    dancing above the fray
    in flight to dream
    to passion live:
    Leap of Faith

    AIRBORNE LOVE


    AIRBORNE LOVE
    18" x 24"
    Oil on Canvas

    "Airborne Love"
    by Juan Romagosa

    Sever the ties
    binding you down
    gravity's pull Love defies

    Jump with glee
    true Love cries
    feeling free
    joyfully silently dancing

    Airborne Love defines
    reaching for infinite skies
    unlocking our heart's confines
    personal limits transcending.

    Virginal Verge


    VIRGINAL VERGE
    24" x 36" 
    Oil on Canvas
    At the Sacramento Fine Arts Festival - Convention Center
    11/4/11 11/5/11 11/6/11

    A young maiden on the verge of maturing is centered in the midst of the life's swirling chaos, letting her inner light shine upon the world.

    "Virginal Verge"
    by Juan Romagosa

    Dreaming sweetly
    rise and shine
    whirling vortex
    sneaks behind

    Heart cloistering brightly
    in its midst: star-shine
    nestled safely
    is glowing fine.

    Heavenly fires your bosom 
    lights with passion
    portals of illusion
    shadows of confusion.

    At the crossroads of your mind
    shining bright, sweet divine
    windmills swish in time
    above the slime.

    At the gate
    brazen decisions to take
    discoveries made
    mysteries fade

    Enigmatic to the core
    the spotlight
    in spinning whorl
    is glowing bright.

    At the precipice
    human blight;
    at the center
    future bright.

    HER SECRET


    HER SECRET
    36" x 24" 
    Oil on Canvas

    Surrealist beach scene depicts a woman's coming awareness.  As she views an image in the sand, children witness the vision and transformation in Varadero - Playa Azul, a Cuban beach.


    "Her Secret"
    by Juan Romagosa

    Childhood I enjoyed
    on the beach warmly
    as time went by tenderly
    under the golden sun hotly
    maturing.

    One day to my innocent face
    in the burning sand
    a mask of thick hair and smiling aspect
     attached.

    Years passed.
    Borrowed habits proved
    comfortable -
    to the found mask
    they stuck.

    Countenance closed
    hot sun encroached.

    From afar a warm message of love did arrive.
    Blood thus far peacefully coursing
    To a sudden boil did come.

    Great emotion unleashed
    - revelation unmasking
    soul saved, by love released.

    Shining:
    Resplendent love;
    Transcendent - adored.

    THE QUICKENING

    THE QUICKENING
    16" x 20"
    Oil on Canvas

    A woman is awakening, stirring within, new life arising, symbolic of Spring and the meaning of life. 

    "The Quickening"
    By Juan Romagosa

    Dormant life force
    awake!
    Within you
    sleeping strong emotions
    lay fallow

    Rushing through your
    very core
    feel stirrings
    longtime stored

    Spring to action
    whence hollowed laid;
    secret places 
    explored

    hidden soul
    bring it fore
    Wintering Love
    through veins
    coursing, flowing: 
    Arise!

    Promethea- Birth on the Rocks






    Promethea- Birth on the Rocks

    Oh Prometheus!
    You stole from Olympus on high
    delivering fire so low.
    Your reward your plight:
    eternally boulder bound.
    Where is your relevance today?
    What Earthly creature will replace;
    precious spark from gripping hands
    be ripped this day?

    Oh Daughter of Man!
    You pinched essence from most high,
    delivering life below.
    Your issue your light,
    forever on rocky mound.
    Man's hope your delight:
    eternally fate unbound.

    20" x 16"
    Oil on Canvas
    $3100



    Like Prometheus who stole fire from ancient Greek Gods for mankind, only to be chained to mount Olympus for his audacity a very pregnant woman makes her to Lovers Point, Pacific Grove, California sensing her moment to come.  There, before Heaven and Earth, nature threatens to overcome her and biological forces from time immemorial take over to deliver new life, the promise of life, a new hope for mankind.

    This painting was featured in the San Rafael Food and Wine Festival and did extremely well. 
    Thank you dear Art Collector! (You know who you are;).

    ANNUNCIATION




    Annunciation
    by Juan Romagosa


    SMILES! Smiles! Smiles!
    In the day, in company, smiles;
    In the heavy air floating, floating, buoyed up by the wind;
    Smiles – not a cloud darkening – all bright and shining;
    Bright smiles on the mouths of raised heads:
    - O who is that Spirit? that form in the light, with smiles?
    What shapely mass is that, stretching, reaching there past the clouds?
    …away, in the morn, as you fly, all looking –
    O then the unloosen’d ocean,
    Of smiles! smiles! smiles!

    Anecdote: an art collector in Benicia, California loved it for its "joyful reminder of her own children". She dubbed it Lady Godiva.
