D. Juncal is the owner of Studio 2 in Carlsbad, California. Born
in Washington D.C. and spending his early years in the East it
was not until reaching Palos Verdes, California, a coastal
peninsula outside of Los Angeles, that his artistic expressions
began to take shape. Working in a variety of mediums during the
1960's he pursued his art education both in Los Angeles and at
Humboldt University in Northern California. The strong images
from this era combined with the influence of the natural
Southern California coastal lifestyle, allow a spectrum of
creative approaches. Working in acrylic, collage, oils and 3-D,
Juncal uses graphic image and color to create emotion and life.
Juncal is a very outgoing
personality who enjoys working with others in the creative
process. He has given opportunity to young artists to work side
by side with himself and the other award winning artists that
make up the performance art teams. This renaissance approach of
the gathering of artists combined with the development of young
apprentices is a key to Juncal's philosophy and stems from his
deep spiritual beliefs.
As the artistic visionary at
Studio 2, Juncal has developed and coordinated various
performance art pieces ranging from a 65' X 17' mural created in
pastel on pavement, to work sponsored yearly in the
distinguished I'Madonnari Italian Art Festival in Santa Barbara,
California. His 17'x15' creations have been featured at the 1997
and 1998 Paint the Bay Festivals in San Diego, California as
well as the Bella Via Festival in Valencia , Ca. These visual
experiences, as well as the many others that he has designed and
coordinated have given thousands of viewers the chance to see
art created before them. Whether working with a team or alone
his energy and creative artistic approach is reflected in each
of his creations.
Mr. Juncal has been actively
involved in the arts community for many years and has served as
juror for the selection of public art for the City of Carlsbad,
California. He has also designed and created public art pieces
for both the City of Carlsbad and the City of Oceanside,
California.
His work has received awards in
collage, mixed media and painting categories, including the
Managers Award at the Southern California Exposition, Del Mar,
California. Juncal's art has been included in several galleries
including The Contemporary Fine Arts Gallery, Vail, CO, The
Brushworks Gallery in the Gaslamp District, San Diego, CA , the
Debra Owen Gallery , San Diego Ca. and the Kruglak Gallery in
Oceanside, CA and has also been displayed at such sites as the
Mosconi Center in San Francisco, CA, the Oceanside Museum of Art
and Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego, CA. His work is in the
collections of such distinguished figures as the owner of the
MGM Grand, the president of marketing of Calloway Golf, and
Sandy Koufax, the Hall of Fame pitcher, along with many private
collections, as well as corporations such as Crocodile
Enterprises, Yaga, and The Skins Game.
