Flor Garduno’s intense black-and-white work from the remote regions of Central and South America has garnered well-deserved praise. The eminent Mexican writer Carlos Fuentes, quoting Socrates, has offered “the moving portrait of eternity” as a description of her work.

In this new volume, from leading art publisher Bulfinch Press, one finds an equally stunning body of more personal work: sensual female nudes and classical still lifes.

This work was created in and around her homes in Mexico and Switzerland, in which she proves to be a master of natural light.
