A colorful balcony of feathers (balcón plumicromado)
Description:
Although we are not aware of it, among the first sounds we hear when arriving in a city are the songs of the birds. In my case, the first thing that caught my attention as soon as I arrived in Melbourne was a couple of birds two meters above me, calmly enjoying a perfect day. There they were, oblivious to their importance to me, being the first birds of that species I had ever seen. Until then I was ignorant about their existence and I gaze at them as though they were a new species recently created.
The old balcony resembles a dilapidated cage to me, and that inspired the idea of placing the birds. Despite how rickety the balcony is, it’s still a beautiful structure.
Significance of the artwork:
This work shows us that getting old doesn´t mean becoming ugly: beauty finds its way to keep shining.

Matte (Canson Infinity Edition Etching Rag 310 g/m2)
To print this work I will use my favorite matte museum-quality paper: Canson Infinity Edition Etching Rag, slightly textured, with a complete absence of reflection. It provides a subtle pictorial appearance, more poetic, in line with the image look and story.
