Mona Kuhn, a Brazilian-born American contemporary photographer, born in 1969 in São Paulo, is renowned for her strikingly large-scale depictions of the human form and its essence. Her work delves deeply into our innate desire for spiritual connection and solidarity, imbuing it with an underlying current that is both singular and evocative. What sets Kuhn’s approach apart is her close rapport with her subjects, resulting in images that evoke a sense of hushed intimacy. Her work captures the raw beauty of the human figure in its natural form, while simultaneously reimagining the idea of nudity as a contemporary masterpiece. Kuhn’s oeuvre often alludes to classical motifs, and has received widespread acclaim through international exhibitions and inclusion in notable collections such as the J. Paul Getty Museum, The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the Hammer Museum, and the Pérez Art Museum Miami.
