Flamencas by Ruven Afanador...olé ! (part I)

Last saturday was too beautiful a day to stay indoors and work so we went to see the exhibition of super star Colombian fashion photographer Ruven Afanador in the new cultural center Memoria de Andalucia in Granada. The exhibition Mil besos is a series of black and white stylized portraits of flamencas. Rufanador chose young girls and old women to transmit his vision of the mujer flamenca (flamenco woman), because as he says flamenco is an art which passes from generation to generation and the result is simply captivating and powerful.

I think Monchéri who is 100% Andalusian would like to be in the picture too...and do some palmas (clapping) in such good company !

I will post more pics of the exhibition Mil besos next wednesday....
