Chantilly, France. 4th October, 2025. Artist Rosana Largo Rodríguez was honored with the Gold Medal by the Society of Francophone Authors and Artists, in an elegant ceremony at the Château de Montvillargenne in Chantilly, France. The venue featured a dream-like stage that seemed to have stepped out of a fairy tale, an enchanting backdrop, just perfect for the dress she designed for this occassion. This honor, championed by its President Aldina Mateus, the jury, and the entire team, is a testament to Rosana's artistic talents in hyper-realist painting.

Dressed in a mesmerizing gown adorned with one of her own artworks, Rosana instantly captivated the crowd. “The audience smiled and commented in wonder… I turned around, moved, and all I could say was, ‘Merci beaucoup,’” she recalled. For her, receiving the award was nothing short of magical, one of those that reminds us why art has the power to move us without need for words. She dedicated the medal to the Virgin of Carejas of Paredes de Nava, fulfilling a deeply felt promise, and to her homeland, Castilla y León in Spain.

During the evening, with a cocktail reception and dinner in the château, one of her most artistic evening gowns was exhibited, the one that she wore to the Goya Awards Gala last year in Valladolid, Spain.

After receiving the Gold Medal in Chantilly, Rosana's next stop was in Saint-Geneviève-des-

Bois, in Essonne, France. There she had the honor of receiving the First Prize in Hyperrealist Painting, for an art piece that created tremendous curiosity called “The Plastic Painting.” Rosana added some insight on the technique, "The complexity of this 100 × 100 cm painting lies in the fact that it is two pictures in one, first I painted the woman, and then the plastic that envelopes her, layer upon layer, playing with transparency, light, and the message.

It was an unforgettable day for Rosana, full of admiration and affection. She thanked the town’s mayor, Frédéric Petitta, and the President of the SAH association, Jean-Jacques Curt (Société des Artistes du Hurepoix), who had some nice words to say about her. The mayor gave her a compliment on her work, “We shall have to go and buy more paintings from Spain.”
