The Poster of the Spring Festivals 2025 in Seville: A work by Daroal that sounds like a sevillana
If there is something that announces that Spring is about to arrive in Seville, it is the presentation of its poster. And this year, The Poster of the Spring Festivals 2025 in Seville has arrived in a big way, with music, emotion and the unmistakable seal of the artists Francisco Rovira and David Romero, known as the Daroal Workshop.
🎨 Who made The Poster of the Spring Festivals 2025 in Seville?
The authors of this work are Francisco Rovira (Yecla, Murcia) and David Romero (Seville), both graduates in Fine Arts and professionally united since 1996 at the Daroal Workshop. Together they work in disciplines such as photography, drawing, painting, sculpture and restoration, and have an impressive CV in the world of brotherhood and festival posters.
Among their most notable works are posters for the Pastora de Triana (2017), the Rocío de Triana (2018), the Holy Week of Jerez (2019), the Glories of Seville (2019), the Esperanza de Triana (2022), the Via Crucis of Jerez (2024) or the Holy Week of Cartagena (2024), among many others. They also made the Cloth of the Holy Woman Veronica for the Brotherhood of Montserrat in 2024 and are currently immersed in the decoration of the new camarín of the Esperanza de Triana.
📅 Where and when was The Poster of the Spring Festivals 2025 in Seville presented?
The presentation ceremony of The Poster of the Spring Festivals 2025 in Seville took place in the Salón Colón of the Seville City Council, with the presence of the mayor José Luis Sanz and the artists themselves. But there was a detail that made it even more special: the poster is not only seen, it is also heard.
The work is based on the mythical sevillana "Sevilla tiene una cosa", composed by Manuel Pareja-Obregón, Rafael de León, Manuel López Quiroga and Gerardo del Valle. During the presentation, it was performed live by the Sevillian José Luis Pérez-Vera, giving voice to those verses that we all carry inside:
"Seville has a thing / that only Seville has: / moon, sun, flower and mantilla, / a laugh and a sorrow / and the Virgen Macarena / who is also from Seville. / And Seville also has / a treasure on each bank, / the Giralda and its bells; / the Esperanza de Triana / who is also from Seville. / And Seville for having / has glory in its hand: / Jesús del Gran Poder / who is also Sevillian".
🖼️ What is The Poster of the Spring Festivals 2025 in Seville like?
The artists themselves define it as "an ode to spring", and they are not wrong. The work includes unmistakable elements of Seville and its festivals, with the city's sky and a guitar as structuring elements.
The composition features:
- The flower, the mantilla, the carnation and the clavelina, as symbols of Sevillian tradition and adornment.
- The sun and the moon, representing the unique light of the city.
- The swallows, announcing the arrival of good weather.
- Holy Week, with references such as the crown of thorns of the Gran Poder.
- The Triana Bridge, witness to so many comings and goings.
- The Plaza de la Maestranza, heart of Sevillian bullfighting.
All framed with a typography that alludes to the city's historic posters, such as that of Juan Manuel Sánchez from 1925 (which turns 100 this year) or that of Ramón Monsalves Cruz from 1943. The background, in a warm yellow, evokes the classic carriages that parade through the Fairground every year.
The mayor, José Luis Sanz, summed it up perfectly: "It is a poster that is seen but also heard. A poster that turns on the loudspeakers of our memory and our memories. Just by looking at it, the chords of this sevillana resonate in our brains".
💃 What does The Poster of the Spring Festivals 2025 in Seville represent for Seville?
For the city, the Poster of the Spring Festivals 2025 in Seville is much more than an image. It is the starting signal for the happiest months of the year, when the orange blossom floods the streets, the April Fair grows in Los Remedios and the processions run through every corner.
Sanz highlighted that "the Daroal Workshop is an emblem of the city, a duo of artists who once again demonstrate their mastery with brushes in this poster that will go down in history. Thank you for giving us this marvellous work that perfectly captures the feeling of Seville in these months".
The poster fulfils, as always, several key functions:
