A FEMALE UNIVERSE One of the trends in contemporary photography, its contamination by the universe of painting is shared by José Almeida & Maria Flores, in this case close to a surreal atmosphere that stages the theater of dreams or nightmares where disturbing female figures play parlor games looking in a challenging an absent spectator, either reading or sleeping placidly veiled by another enigmatic figure. Feminine and ambiguous universe, between sleep, dream and wakefulness, between sensuality and mysticism, between fiction and reality, in a perfect play of light and shadow that accentuates the beauty of bodies and their mystery.
