Eyes of the Soul

Fiercely independent, critically acclaimed and self-taught, Spanish photographer Cristina García Rodero was the first to capture her country’s festivals (religious and pagan) in a project that took her 15 years to complete. Today, half a century later, this 73-year-old artist with an iron will, approachable and indefatigable, continues to self-finance her long-term projects, and to document how life, love, beauty and death - that which inspires and moves the human soul, spirit and body - are celebrated in the world.
