With 25 years of experience Juan Rosén is the oldest embroiderer of Malaga. In this workshop of embroidering, the first that was created in the capital, they have made more than 500 works (palliums, cloaks, mantles, cassocks, banners...) in the field of the Easter paraphernalia embroidering. His works are used for processions in many Spanish provinces such as Alicante, Burgos, Cadiz, Huelva, Madrid, Murcia, Malaga and towns of these provinces (only in the capital it has made works for 33 ritual brotherhoods). Pioneering in contemporary embroiderings, Juan Rosén has a polished technique that combines aspects of Malagan embroidering with the Seville school. He was an outstanding student of Esperanza Elena Caro, mastering perfectly all the techniques and points of classical embroidering. But perhaps most characteristic of his style it is the very fine gold thread used, which, in spite of making the work more difficult and slow, gives a shaded aspect to the stitches, conferring a magnificient relief and superb finishing. The factory of Juán Rosén always uses best threads, traded specifically in Valencia, and fabrics, which emphasize the brocades, damascos, satin, velvets and gold or silver lame. Of the complete works of this master of the embroidering is possible to emphasize cossack made for the Virgin of the Great Power, a set of banners made for the Brotherhood of the Mercy and the Cloak of the Lord of Sentence, all of which are based in Malaga. Lately, he has worked outside the province making a cloak for the Nazareno Christ of Murcia and aprons for the Passage ritual of Aranda of the Duero (Burgos).
