Description

I’m happy to present this limited edition jewel inspired in one of the most special stories I ever represented. Toucans are some of the most iconic characters in my work but this one is the most special I ever worked, It’s based on a true story about a mistreated toucan found in Costa rica three years ago named “Grecia”. Her story made headlines worldwide after surviving an alleged attack that destroyed most of its upper beak. The toucan received the first 3D print prosthetic beak thanks to a joint effort that included a crowdfunding campaign and the collaboration of companies in Costa Rica and the U.S. Grecia has become a symbol of their fight to get an Animal Welfare Bill approved by the Legislative Assembly. Now, together with Suarez and Silverprints I have the opportunity of converting the animals into jewels, this is something that I always strive with my artworks and now with this edition it’s more evident.
