Religiosidad popular, 1979-1988

Black and White Series

This series of photographs document aspects of popular religious beliefs, in particular Spanish Catholic influences, which has been a major theme of Méndez Caratini’s work for the past three decades in Puerto Rico, the Caribbean and Latin America. The religions and traditions of the people, regardless of their economic and social status have always captured his attention and immense curiosity.
