Where the Impossible Begins
Knock, and the impossible may answer.
A personal series about thresholds.
Those places where the everyday quietly opens onto the fantastic. In this first piece, a boy knocks on a garden door, and the one who answers is a flamingo postman. It was selected for the Salón Visual Bacánika 2025 in Bogotá, among 1,779 submitted works, and a fine art print was sold during the exhibition.

Personal project
Process
It started as a small thumbnail, then a full pencil drawing. The last decision was the color of the door: I made several color tests, and in the end the choice came down to brown or blue. I chose blue because it stands out against the warm wall and, above all, it lets the flamingo, the central gaze of the piece, draw all the attention.
