Henar Iglesias

Henar Iglesias comes from a family deeply immersed in both graphic and handmade arts. Her creative journey began at age eight, when she discovered feather art—a medium that continues to captivate her and has become her lifelong passion. Combining her background in mathematics with her artistic talents, Henar merges advanced technical skill with the beauty of ancestral feather art techniques.

One of the most intricate methods she employs is a mosaic technique, where bird feathers blend seamlessly to create images, disappearing as individual elements to form a unified whole. This approach, guided by her mathematical insight into vector fields, allows her to navigate the complexities of each design. Her work draws inspiration from Mesoamerican feather art, where she explores the ancient mastery of lovercas—artists known for their precision and symbolism.

Henar’s mission is to breathe new life into forgotten feather art techniques from diverse cultures, presenting them with a contemporary twist. Through her craft, she aims to connect modern audiences with a deeper appreciation of the cultural narratives and the intricate relationship between nature and luxury.
