La Danza De Pluma
De niño, sentado en el Cerro de Yavego, cerca de mi pueblo natal de Zimatlán, soñaba con el Danzante de la Pluma, soñaba con su penacho espectacular, vistoso y multicolor. Ese penacho que inspiraba mis anhelos ingenuos y atenuaba la carga, muchas veces insoportable, de mi vida. Sabía que de ponérmelo, alas me brotarían para volar.
Pasaron algunas décadas, y en julio del 2018, erigí con orgullo un monumento a mi héroe: una escultura del Danzante de la Pluma de 13 metros de altura, en ese mismo Cerro de Yavego, manufacturada en fibra de vidrio, cuyo penacho lleva una pintura abstracta, inspirada en la Guelaguetza.

Dancer of the Feather
As a child, sitting on the Hill of Yavego, close to my hometown of Zimatlán, in the state of Oaxaca, I would dream of the Dancer of the Feather, of his striking and vividly hued headdress that brightened my childhood fantasies and lightened the sometimes unbearable load of my real life. I was sure that by wearing it, I could fly.
Fast forward a few decades to July of 2018, when I paid homage to my hero: I completed a 13-meter sculpture of the Dancer of the Feather, on that same Hill of Yavego. This sculpture is made of fiber glass and an abstract painting, inspired by the Festival of the Guelaguetza, adorns its monumental headdress.
