The quetzal is a climbing bird from Central and North America, with a tail as long as the body and with soft plumage (green and red, and yellowish beak and legs). It has the detail of a silky bow on the head.
This piece is inspired by these birds, it is a one hundred percent descriptive and programmatic work, and takes the quetzals as its central figure: beautiful, wonderful creatures and owners of a unique freedom, a feature that is visible in their flights.
The picture belongs to Adriana Patricia Canero
