Susan Adams draws inspiration from Costa Rica’s landscape and its people, specifically within the Guanacaste province, which has been her home for over 25 years.
As an observer of daily life and culture, Adams immortalises a diverse array of subjects, from cowboys and dancers to bull rings and traditional customs upheld by the eclectic spectrum of local people. Additionally, she captures the essence of Costa Rica’s natural beauty, including its beaches, animals, and tropical life.
In this typical scene featuring Costa Rican women dancing in traditional dresses, Adams captures the vibrant energy and cultural richness of the moment. The women, caught in mid-swirl, are depicted with dynamic movement as their dresses swirl gracefully around the canvas.
Viewers are drawn into the relaxed body language of the dancers, feeling as though they are part of the intimate scene themselves, enveloped by the joyous rhythm of the dance. Adams invites viewers to celebrate these Costa Rican women dancing, and the beauty of culture and tradition, with this moment of unity and harmony.
