Fundación Iridis Costa Rica Nosotros

Nosotros

A large, outdoor cultural mural painted on a concrete wall in a Costa Rican neighborhood, depicted in photographic realism without any human figures. The mural blends abstract silhouettes of musical instruments, tropical foliage, Caribbean and Pacific coastlines, and stylized urban houses, all in rich, saturated colors. Small details like painted butterflies, books, and masks emerge within the composition, symbolizing education, culture, and identity. The setting includes a clean sidewalk in the foreground and subtle greenery at the edge of the frame. Soft, overcast daylight evenly illuminates the wall, reducing harsh shadows and enhancing color fidelity. Photographed straight-on at eye level with sharp focus across the entire mural, the image feels hopeful, community-centered, and transformative, embodying art as a tool for social inclusion and pride.

Música, arte y cultura que transforman

Conectamos comunidades costarricenses mediante procesos creativos, generando inclusión real, oportunidades formativas y liderazgo juvenil a través del arte.

Quiénes somos

Fundación Iridis Costa Rica nace en 2019 desde una experiencia humana auténtica: la convicción de que el arte puede cambiar vidas. Promovemos el desarrollo de las artes, la cultura y la música como vehículos de bien social y defensa de los derechos humanos. No somos una ONG asistencial clásica: somos una comunidad viva que crea espacios seguros de expresión, donde la diversidad es celebrada y cada persona encuentra su voz. Trabajamos con comunidades vulnerables, juventudes, adultos mayores y aliados que creen en un mundo más justo e inclusivo.

A thoughtfully curated cultural resource corner in a small library space, featuring a sturdy wooden bookshelf filled with neatly aligned books on Costa Rican music, art, and social inclusion, their spines in a harmonious mix of earth tones and bright accents. On the top shelf, a small carved wooden mask and a miniature marimba model introduce local artistic identity. A soft-textured woven textile in vibrant colors rests folded on one side, adding warmth. Natural daylight filters through an unseen window, creating gentle highlights along the book spines and a calm, inviting atmosphere. Shot at eye level using the rule of thirds, with the focus centered on the middle shelves and a slight blur at the edges, the photographic realism emphasizes learning, heritage, and empowerment through culture.

Directora Musical

An elegant, modern rehearsal room featuring a polished wooden floor and a central music stand holding crisp, neatly notated sheet music of a symphonic arrangement inspired by Costa Rican rhythms. Nearby, a well-maintained violin rests open in its dark velvet-lined case, its varnished surface catching subtle highlights. In the background, a wall-mounted acoustic panel subtly incorporates patterns echoing indigenous motifs, softly blurred to maintain focus on the foreground. Gentle, diffused ceiling lights combine with a faint hint of window light, creating an evenly lit, professional atmosphere with minimal shadows. Captured at a low, slightly angled perspective emphasizing the music stand and violin, with moderate depth of field, the scene feels disciplined yet inspiring, reflecting the foundation’s commitment to excellence, culture, and structured artistic development in photographic realism.

Ingeniero

A modern, minimalist office desk used for cultural project planning, featuring a sleek laptop displaying a blurred project timeline interface, an open notebook with neatly handwritten notes about workshops and community concerts, and color-coded sticky notes arranged thoughtfully across the desk surface. A small Costa Rican flag pin rests beside a simple ceramic mug, and a discreet framed print of an abstract marimba illustration leans against the wall in the background. Soft, indirect daylight from the side creates a bright yet gentle ambiance, with subtle shadows that keep the scene grounded. Photographed from a slightly elevated angle with clear, sharp focus, the composition feels organized, professional, and purposeful, highlighting the behind-the-scenes coordination that makes inclusive cultural programs possible, rendered in clean photographic realism.

Diseñador

A close-up, photographic realism shot of a traditional Costa Rican mask resting on a neutral, matte pedestal. The mask features intricate hand-painted patterns in deep reds, blues, and golds, with carefully sculpted contours and a smooth, slightly glossy finish. Around the base lie small symbolic objects: a miniature paintbrush, a tiny ceramic drum, and a folded paper with faint music notation, hinting at interconnected art forms. The background fades into a soft, dark gradient, with a single, controlled spotlight from above-left illuminating the mask and casting a delicate, dramatic shadow. Captured at eye level with a shallow depth of field, the mood is reverent, contemplative, and dignified, emphasizing cultural heritage as a powerful, transformative force for identity and inclusion.
