BEATRIX MEXI MOLNAR
DANCE PHOTOGRAPHY
I"M AN INTERNATIONAL DANCE PHOTOGRAPHER BASED IN MADRID, SPAIN. MY PASSION IS FLAMENCO AND CONTEMPORARY DANCE.
As a photographer, I capture the raw emotions and energy of dance, especially flamenco, in a way that transcends the moment. Born in Hungary and now living in Spain, my work is influenced by a blend of cultures. Flamenco, with its deep emotional roots, offers a rich field for my photography, while the architectural landscapes of Spain provide a compelling backdrop. Through my lens, I seek to connect these worlds, finding harmony in their contrasts.
My work focuses on the lines created in the air by the movement of the body—each gesture and position forms a visual composition that tells a story of passion and expression. I am drawn to the fluidity of the human form in motion and the way it interacts with space, light, and shadow.
In my dance photography, I preserve fleeting emotions, not just the steps or choreography. I focus on the raw intensity of the performance, the tension in every muscle, and the vulnerability of the dancer in that moment. I experiment with angles, exposure, and framing to create dynamic, powerful images that communicate both the physical and emotional landscape of dance.
Another important aspect of my work is the integration of dance with architecture. I use the environment—often monumental and structured—to highlight the contrast between the human body and the built space. The architecture becomes a silent partner in the composition, adding layers of meaning and context to the dance. In this fusion, I explore how movement can reshape and reimagine the spaces around us.

BIO
Beatrix Molnar is a Hungarian-born photographer who found her true artistic calling in the world of flamenco. After honing her skills in photojournalism and fine art photography in Budapest, she moved to Spain in 2005, where she became captivated by the raw intensity and emotion of flamenco dance.

Her lens has worked with some of the most celebrated flamenco artists—Antonio Canales, Jesús Carmona, Manuel Liñán, and many more—translating their passion and grace into powerful stills and art films.

Her work has been showcased in solo exhibitions in San Antonio, Texas, Seville, Prague, La Havana, and Madrid, and her photography is often highlighted in flamenco’s most prestigious venues.

“MI GENUINE AND CRAZY BEATRIX MOLNAR
Photography as art is constantly moving, never stopping, a progressing and expanding universe. Plenty of technical, chemical and magical discoveries had to have happened in order to enjoy fully this mystical and ethernal art form. Discussing about photography and its incredible vastness is like squeezing the sea into a drinking glass. In respect to my world of flamenco, thankful to photography, the stories and the past of this marvellous flamenco universe is invoked.
In our present world this graceous courtesy of the magnificent photographer Beatrix Molnar is her ability to identify and to fill her art to the marrow of our flamenco world where she totally belongs. She is a guarding eye, genuine and overflowing with talent, who sails in the heights of sensual and tempestuous dream world of flamenco. With Beatrix we are entering a new vision, the world of texture, material, colours, emotions and tones. There a moment of time is transformed to the story of centuries therefore the reality of flesh and blood is changed to an obfuscated and unearthly dream. This unique and exclusive perspective which is a drift from the photographer’s heart is about to have the pictures constantly move and enable us to hear every single scream and whispering as well as the saint harmonies of the performers.
This is a real honour and pride to praise the artist, the photographer and the “flamenca” because I’m a big fan of her perspective -her forms and path towards the ”raza” and at the same time the organic nature of art photography.
Because flamenco is like thin glass, if one gets too close to it, it’ll turn dewy.
Only the selected few is allowed to enter the sanctuary. One of the chosen few is this grand artist, Beatrix Molnár”
