Mundos Interiores

Co-authored with writer Nelia Barletta and published by Libros Ámbar, Mundos Interiores explores twenty-two private homes in Santo Domingo’s Colonial City, the first European settlement in the Americas. Through photography and essays, the book reveals interiors shaped by centuries of cultural exchange, where Caribbean, European, African, and Latin American influences converge.

Featured in Monocle, Milk Decoration, and Harper’s Bazaar Intérieurs France, among other international design publications.

Available in selected bookstores in Santo Domingo. For further information or enquiries, please contact neliabarletta@gmail.com.
