Once again, the art of photography has taken center stage in Costa Rica with the celebration of the Fotoveritas 2023 National Photography Festival Exhibition. This prestigious event, which celebrates the creativity and talent of photographers and artists from all over the country, has brought together an impressive collection of works at the Sendero Gallery, located in San José’s charming Barrio Escalante. This year, Fotoveritas 2023 is even more exciting, as it has teamed up with the Museum of Contemporary Art and Design (MADC).

A Look at National Photographic Innovation and Creativity

After a successful 20th anniversary the previous year, Fotoveritas 2023 has attracted a diverse community of image lovers for this exciting edition. The exhibition is a must-see event to appreciate and celebrate photography, providing an opportunity to explore the creativity and talent of local artists.

In contrast to previous editions, the 2023 edition has become an even more inclusive showcase. That is, this year it invited photographers and artists from all over the country, as well as residents over the age of 16, to submit their proposals. The theme for the proposals is free choice, which has resulted in an amazing diversity of approaches and creative styles.

From the elegance and innovation of fashion to the stark reality of environmental issues, these images are thought-provoking visual testimonies to the exploration of profound themes. The photographers have managed to capture the duality of advertising, from the beauty of the products to the seduction of the narrative behind them. Besides, the photographs also remind us of the importance of our relationship with the natural environment. Through evocative compositions, the images explore the nuances of the human experience, immersing us in an introspective journey that addresses existential questions.

During the course of Fotoveritas 2023, the festival has organized guided tours and events related to photography. The objective is to provide a space to make visible and value the current photographic practices of the country. This approach seeks to encourage interaction between artists and the public, creating an enriching environment for all photography lovers.

Photographs that Reflect the Soul of Costa Rica

This year, Fotoveritas is located at Galería Sendero, a cultural and gastronomic space in Barrio Escalante that seeks to enrich the area. The gallery has established a program that promotes the development of artistic proposals of diverse disciplines, contributing to the growth of art and culture in Costa Rica, Latin America and the world.

As a result, this exhibition is strong evidence that the art of photography continues to play an important role in Costa Rica’s cultural scene and remains an inexhaustible source of inspiration and wonder.
