Mariana Chiesa Mateos, FlorEros, 2023

In her new book, FlorEros, Mariana Chiesa takes us in a walk of erotic visions immersed in a garden of many colors and many forms, as many and varied as love. Flowers, silent witnesses of the encounters between two young people discovering emotions and sensations, participate in the ecstasy by inspiring kisses and embraces. Brief botanical annotations intersect with new knowledge and new awareness. Nothing more than a flower can tell us about love and pleasure, tenderness and endurance, cheerfulness and stillness, fragility and sure rebirth after being broken.
