Bio Artist · Graphic Designer · Workshop Facilitator
Juan-Carlos Rosa-Casasola (Juancar/he/him) is a transdisciplinary artist from Benidorm (Spain), living in Berlin (Germany), passionate graphic designer, and committed workshop facilitator. His projects move fluidly between visual arts, design, and creative education – with a strong focus on visibility, diversity, and immersive experiences.
He holds a Fine Arts degree with honors from the Universitat Politècnica de València and later completed master's programs in Art Production, Media Art, and Creative Design. His artistic practice explores the boundaries between public and private, analog and digital, individual and collective.
His work has been exhibited in solo and group shows at institutions such as the Centre del Carme Cultura Contemporània in Valencia, CCCB in Barcelona, and the Kulturforum Berlin. He has also participated in art fairs like Hybrid Art Fair (Madrid) and Festivals like 48 Stunden Neukölln (Berlin), and shown with galleries including Luis Adelantado (Valencia) and Espai Salmaia (Altea).
Since 2015, Juancar has also worked as a graphic designer in Berlin for cultural institutions like the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin, the Schwules Museum, and the agency Runze & Casper. Alongside this, he offers creative workshops that blend drawing, mindful movement, and storytelling. His classes, hosted at spaces like Modulor, Berlin Drawing Room, Dharma Studios and Fincan e.V., encourage playful exploration, self-awareness, and connection.
