Birds reproduces the format of those plates that used to decorate the walls of restaurants and fishmongers in Vigo years ago. They detailed the different species that inhabited the seas, whether they were fish, molluscs or crustaceans.

Conditioned by human activity, both animal species and their habitats are undergoing significant morphological changes. This often environmentally unfriendly activity is causing profound changes in ecosystems. Faced with this situation, animal species have no choice but to adapt to these changes, at the risk of becoming extinct if they do not.

With the intention of denouncing the impact of human activity on living beings, and more specifically on birds, through drawings with surrealist overtones, Peri makes use of such an everyday and disused element as this one. An element that the artist reinterprets and relocates, transferring it to the walls of houses and exhibition halls.

This limited edition of giclée prints of Peri Helio’s work, Birds, is made on a 310grs 100% cotton Hannemule paper. It is printed using mineral inks, and all prints are numbered and signed by the artist.
