A colorful balcony of feathers (balcón plumicromado)

Significance of the artwork:

This artwork shows us that getting old does not mean getting ugly: beauty finds its way to keep shining.

Description:

Although we do not realize about it, amongst the first sounds that we hear when we arrive to a city are the singings of the birds. In my case, the first that caught my attention just after arriving Melbourne was a bird couple two meters above me, calmly enjoying a perfect day. There they were, unaware of their importance to me, being the first time in my life that I saw birds like them. Up until then I was ignorant about their existence and I gaze at them as though they were a new species recently created.

I found many other unknown birds in Australia. Others, also living in Europe, surprised me both in nature and in the middle of the cities, replete with green areas, inviting birds to explore urban zones.

This artwork shows a European old balcony which resembles me a rickety birdcage. I image the great amount of birds that could find rest in its structure.

This artworks has been awarded with an “Honorable Mention” in the international photographic competition “Chromatic Awards”, 2017, professional fine art category.

Media selection (paper finish)

Matte – artist’s recommendation (Edition Etching)

This artwork looks extraordinary both with a matte and a with a satin paper. Many visitors to our gallery initially think that this is a paint, not a mixing of photographs. And it happens with both paper finishes.  

Although the artist still doubts, he prefers a matte finish, using Canson Infinity Edition Etching Rag 310gsm, a slightly textured matte paper, which provides a subtle pictorial appearance, more poetic, in line with the artwork look and story.

Satin – optionally (Baryta & Platine)

A satin finish paper will provide a more photo-realistic appearance to this artwork. And it also looks beautiful with this artwork. In fact, it is probably a better media to represent the window glasses than the matte paper, although overall the artist prefers the matte look. 

If you are looking for a more literal look, with deeper blacks and higher contrast, and you are not very fan of matte papers, then go for this option. Just be aware that this paper has some reflections and it will be more important to control the lighting of the room. We will use Canson Infinity Platine Fibre Rag (Palace edition) and Canson Infinity Baryta Photographique (rest of editions)
