The inner sanctum and sexus of an hibiscus flower from a series titled, Erotica. Inspired by the ecstasy of love. In August 2009, at the Medellin Botanical Garden in Colombia, South America, during the annual Festival of Flowers, I embarked on a photographic journey into the heart of orchids and hibiscus flowers. Inspired by Georgia O'Keeffe's iconic flower paintings, encountered in Santa Fe, New Mexico, in 2006, this series explores the intricate beauty of these blooms. I chose photography as my medium to capture the fleeting perfection of these flowers. These images aim to evoke a sense of wonder, reverence, and tranquility, inviting viewers to appreciate the often-overlooked wonders of the natural world. Each photograph emphasizes the sensuality and vitality of the petals, echoing O'Keeffe's ability to infuse her subjects with a sense of the divine. During that day in Medellin, the love I felt for my future wife radiated through each photograph, revealing emotions that continue to resonate within me. These portraits serve as a reminder that true love can be found in delicate intricacies and subtle shadows, even when the rest remains out of focus. I invite you to explore the exquisite subtleties of nature and the profound emotions they elicit or mirror within us through these tender portraits.

www.MA9.co Fine art photography by Marco Aurelio. ARTIST STATEMENT I photograph the individual on the street to create site-specific visual ethnographies. I also photograph still-life as a way of exploring the beauty of design and form in the natural world. BIO Born and raised at the foot of the South American Andes within a family of generational farmers, I was exposed to native oral traditions, pre-Columbian indigenous art and cosmologies, magical-realism experiences, and the sociopolitical dynamics of the region. I earned a Liberal Arts degree from New York University, which encompassed studies in European history, anthropology, and Western philosophy. Starting as a self-taught photographer, I enhanced my craft by attending courses at The International Center of Photography and The School of Visual Arts in New York City. Following a strong academic curiosity, I ventured into archaeology and anthropology at The City College at CUNY and deepened my understanding of writing, music history, and anthropology at Columbia University. Journeys through photojournalism and portrait photography, combined with interests as varied as ontology, Eastern philosophy, physics, and the metaphysical elements in the fiction of Jorge Luis Borges, continue to shape and inform my fine art photography practice. Today, New York City is both my home and a creative sanctuary.
