Luis Pablo has carved many birds in his career

legs moving

especially in the eyes

The result is a dialogue between the spontaneous and the deliberate

The carving is angular and beautifully proportioned

Antonio gathers all of that history into a moment of celebration

it captures the lively sense of motion that defines monkeys: appearing perfectly still for a moment before springing into action again

Antonio gathers the tenderness of a tradition that turns grief into welcome and memory into color

a multi-figure composition that reads almost like a small mythological theater set on a black wooden stage

a hallmark of his family’s workshop
