With what I'd see as a random assortment of nuts and bolts, Armando perceives the potential of art. His ability to create sculpture with such life and movement is an amazing feat of engineering as well as art; his art helps me see with different eyes.
I love your work - and I look forward to seeing this bird in person next time I visit my mom. I know it will be a beautiful surprise gift for her for Mother’s Day.
Just one suggestion - it’s listed as an Amazonian Motmo. I looked him up, and he’s actually a Trinidad Motmot. His species name is Momotus bahamensis.
Keep doing your beautiful art! I hope I can adopt another one of your ethereal fauna for my backyard.
