Luis Alfonso Jiménez, Eagle 

Absolutely gorgeous ‼️

It makes me feel so proud! The work execution is exquisite!

Crystal Bridges! ❤ That first view of the eagle was gorgeous! I'm not used to that dramatic sheen on sculptures, so I was immediately curious what it's made from. "If you have looked at the Mexican flag..." I have not! I was used to the colors, but never paid much attention to the eagle in the center, so that was interesting to learn about. I love how the artist's automotive background enabled him to use materials that gave this piece such a unique look. Another Smarthistory banger to ease the pain of Monday, lol. Glad I caught it.

It's fascinating discovering the art styles practised by different cultures around the world. This dramatic, vividly coloured sculpture reminds me of the artwork intrinsically linked with Mexico - Alberijes. It may be depicting a real creature, but the eagle has strong mythical meanings. And the way this bald eagle is perched on the prickly pear cactus, with its wings stretched around it, at first glance, the two seem to merge together creating a strange, dangerous creature. The flbreglass gives it a beautiful sheen.

Nice! Amazing video

These are great. Keep it up!
