About the Item

"Little Sun" by Spanish artist Henar Iglesias is made with pheasant feathers. In Little Sun, the variation in line thickness and the vibrant texture of the golden pheasant crest feathers stand out. The luminosity of each feather radiating radially evokes the energy and warmth of sunlight. The golden pheasant, with its brilliant plumage and majesty, reflects the radiance and splendor of the sun, both symbols of power, majesty, and life. Henar Iglesias is a Spanish artist, born into a family dedicated to art, both graphic and handmade. Growing up between her father’s painting studio and her mother’s high-fashion millinery workshop allowed her to playfully learn a wide variety of crafts. It was at the age of eight when she discovered that no one in Spain was creating feather appliques anymore. Iglesias’ parents nurtured her curiosity for ancestral arts and crafts through art galleries and archaeological museums. While studying mathematics at University, she realized that her destiny was to revitalize the craft of feather artistry. In her early 20’s, Iglesias discovered Mesoamerican feather art, a practice that intertwines art with sacred symbolism. She was fascinated by the technical skill of the amantecas (skilled artists capable of capturing the desires and longings of the human heart in each piece), a mastery that has never ceased to inspire and fuel her desire to explore the infinite aesthetic and artistic possibilities of feathers. This works is framed in a simple black frame with glass. Since then, her passion has been to revitalize forgotten techniques from different cultures, infusing them with a distinctly contemporary aesthetic influenced by her mathematical background and artistic influences. Immersing herself in these cultures allowed her to discover a desire to bring to our present day not only a part of their cosmogony but also their vision of the relationship between humans and nature, as well as their vision of the most exquisite luxury.
