This is how “Barroco Tropical” was born, a visual study that explores the di erent scenarios, characters and customs of the popular culture of the Dominican Republic, seen from an aesthetic inspired by the baroque. To create each image we mix silhouettes and patterns with the colors in a symbolic way (the green represents the tropic and the golden evoking European culture). We apply classic compositions to the creation of images until we obtain 13 elegant, ostenta- tious and innovative visuals that are the re ection of the deep feeling of pride we feel for our country.
