Pictorialist portraits of animals living inside Akumal Monkey Sanctuary. With pastel backgrounds they give a painterly look to each photograph.

This project was the prequel to my abstract photography. Akumal Monkey Sanctuary has as  main goal to ensure that the rescued and donated animals receive the necessary care and attention. Many of the animals living in the sanctuary come from very poor conditions working for circuses and other  attractions. For donations and more information please visit their website http://akumalmonkeysanctuary.com/
