FERNANDO MONTIEL KLINT "Extract Feather From An Eagle Cara Cara" (2020). Edition: 30+2 AP. Signed and numbered. Certificate of Authenticity included. Hahnemühle Rag 308 g. Available in 2 sizes.

Believing in nature in its primary state, and how strange and beautiful it can be for a better understanding of the world that we live in. Fernando Montiel Klint wants to discover a nature unknown to him, from the micro to the macro where the human is no longer the centre of the universe, in search of an untamed territory loaded with ancestral traces. He wants to try to slow down the self-destructive maelstrom that the environment has created for him. Feeding a curiosity towards the unknown nature, so far away, that he thought he had lost sensitivity to it, to get closer to the natural environment, its biodiversity, and the individual as a species, to recognize his animal instinct to get closer to nature.

Fernando Montiel Klint (b.1978, Mexico City) studied photography at the Active School of Photography and Centro de la Imagen. Since 2015 Klint has exhibited nationally and internationally in museums and galleries, and won several prizes, grants and honours. His works have been acquired from various art museum col- lections in Mexico, Switzerland, Hungary, China, Chile, Spain, and the United States. He is represented by Artbaena Gallery in Mexico City, Mexico.
