Flora Langlois was born to a family of artists and intellectuals in the Central canton of San José in 1927. From an early age, she learned to paint from her mother Luisa Gonzalez Feo, and this passion turned into a lifelong pursuit that would take her back and forth between the United States and Costa Rica while she pursued education and continued her practice.
She would go to California for her undergraduate and return home to Costa Rica before graduate school to help her father with mosaics for local chapels. Settling back in Wisconsin in 1953 She continued her pursuit of art education Working under teachers like Alfred Sessler and John Wilde. Wilde and Her Mother would go on to become her most important influences when it came to the style, theme, and technique she implemented in her artwork. She would continue working as an artist in the state of Wisconsin until 2010 when she would return definitively to Costa Rica and establish a studio in Escazu. She is currently being honored with a retrospective at the Museum of Costa Rican Art.
The exhibition is made up of a selection of works produced over 70 years of experience, curated by researcher María Enriqueta Guardia. The collection of QR codes below will take to you the various documents prepared the the Museum of Costa Rican Art
