Erika Buenfil surprised her followers by posing without clothes in a photoshoot at the age of 61.

The image is part of Las formas del alma, the new work by photographer Uriel Santana, who is celebrating 25 years of artistic career.

With a career defined by iconic roles in Mexican television, Buenfil decided to show herself naturally, wearing nothing more than her bracelets and false eyelashes.

“I felt very supported, I didn’t think about it because if I thought about it, I wouldn’t have done it,” the actress shared in an interview with Televisa Espectáculos.

“He let me keep my bracelets and my false eyelashes, and I appreciate that. It was about daring to see what people would say, but this is me,” the actress said.

Her statement reflects a personal commitment to freedom, authenticity, and the challenge of exposing herself without filters in an industry that often glorifies perfection.

A Shift in Erika Buenfil’s Personal and Professional Life

The star of telenovelas like Amor en silencio and Marisol admitted that in past years she would not have dared to take such a step.

“Never. I also think that Nicolás is old enough to understand now, and I believe that the world has changed in recent years,” she said, referring to her son.

For Buenfil, the decision is tied to a process of reinvention and the need to adapt to social changes.

“You can’t stay trapped in the past,” she stated firmly.

An Exercise in Full Acceptance

The actress said that posing nude was an exercise in both personal and professional acceptance.

“I’ve skipped several steps, and I’m breaking with myself, putting myself in the present,” she explained about this new chapter.

Her words distance her from the conservative image she acknowledges having maintained for years.

“There’s only one life,” she concluded, referring to her decision to leave behind prejudices and embrace freedom.

An Image Without Retouching or Filters

Erika Buenfil emphasized that the photograph was published exactly as taken, without digital edits that altered her figure.

“My photo is natural. This is who I am. Maybe I’m not perfect, we tried to take care, but that’s me,” she said.

She added that she did not ask for changes like slimming her silhouette or hiding imperfections, because she wanted the image to reflect authenticity.

“I left and didn’t know what had happened until today,” she confessed about the experience.

Between Television and Artistic Reinvention

Although Erika Buenfil’s photoshoot stirred public reaction, the actress remains committed to her television career.

On October 21, she will return to Univision in Papás por siempre, the continuation of the telenovela Papás por conveniencia.

The project, starring Ariadne Díaz and José Ron under the production of Rosy Ocampo, marks a new challenge for the actress.

In this way, Erika Buenfil balances her television work with an artistic reinvention in which she breaks barriers and embraces personal freedom, according to El Diario NY.
