This striking artwork captures the intricate beauty of bird feathers artfully intertwined with the metallic elements of a guitar. The iridescent feathers, with their captivating hues of blue and green, seamlessly cascade over the body of the instrument, creating a stunning contrast with the structured, metallic sheen of the guitar's strings and tuning pegs. The meticulous arrangement of the feathers highlights their natural texture and luster, while simultaneously showcasing the mechanical precision of the guitar. This fusion of organic and man-made elements speaks to themes of harmony and contrast, inviting contemplation on the relationship between nature and music. The piece is not only visually captivating but also a profound statement on the interconnectedness of all art forms. The juxtaposition of softness and strength, tradition and innovation, invites viewers into a world where boundaries between disciplines are beautifully blurred.

Creating the Ícara I was like an initiation. the work contains about 800 feathers and it has a very rock and roll feel as it reminds us of Lenny Kravitz’s love for feathers and boas. It also explores a rite of passage: leaving Buenos Aires, its music, its flavors and ultimately a remembrance, an homage to a dear Argentine singer-songwriter Gustavo Cerati, whose song “Tu cicatriz en mí” brings him back to Buenos Aires.
