This mural made over a gate I did the month of November 2018, was the first time that I paint the face of an animal.
The harpy eagle is the largest eagle in Venezuela and is at the highest level of the trophic chain, this animal was sacred to the thymotocuicas who inhabited the Andean region in pre-Hispanic times.
Today the harpy eagle is under threat from the logging of its Andean forests, herbicide poisoning, and assassinations by superstitious hunters.
For me this animal is an elemental of the wind, guardian of the skies and protector of the air.

Este mural realizado sobre un portón lo hice el mes de noviembre del año 2018, fue la primera vez que pinto el rostro de un animal.
El águila harpía es el águila más grande de Venezuela y está en el nivel más alto de la cadena trófica, este animal era sagrado para los timotocuicas quienes habitaban la región andina en la época prehispánica.
Actualmente el águila harpía está bajo amenaza por la tala de sus bosques andinos, envenenamiento por herbicidas y asesinatos por cazadores supersticiosos.
Para mi este animal es un elemental del viento, guardian de los cielos y protector del aire.
Amazing eagle. its eyes look like precious stone.
