10 Years of Bird Art Prints: A Decade Dedicated to Ornithographies
This past July marked ten years since I first published an image from Ornithographies. Ten years since I decided to fully dedicate myself to this project, which has changed my life. Today, a decade later, I’d like to take a moment to look back and express my gratitude.
A Project Born from Curiosity and Flight
Over this time, what began as an experimental idea about bird flight has grown into a professional journey that explores the intersection of science and art, nature and technology. What started as a simple question about movement eventually became a visual language of its own, one that continues to evolve.
Exhibitions, Institutions, and the Path Into Contemporary Art
I’ve had the privilege of exhibiting my work in museums, festivals, and cultural institutions around the world, from Cosmocaixa in Barcelona to the National Museum of Contemporary Art in Athens, PhotoVogue Festival in Milan, Blue Sky Center for Photographic Arts in Oregon, and the Muséum de Bordeaux – Sciences et Nature in France.
My work has been published in outlets like National Geographic, The Guardian, Audubon Society Magazine, BBC Science Focus, Granta Magazine, and WWF, among many others. It is part of institutional collections such as the Museum of American Bird Art at Mass Audubon (USA), Fundació Vila Casas and Fundació Carmen & Lluís Bassat (Catalonia), and Fonds Régional d’Art Contemporain (France), as well as private collections in over 27 countries.
A Decade of Growth and Recognition
In recent years, I’ve seen this project begin to find its place in the world of contemporary art. Thanks to the support of galleries like Galería Senda (Barcelona), LAB36, and collaborations with institutions such as Mathematikum (Germany), CCCB (Spain), and La Chambre (France), the project has entered the broader artistic dialogue. For me, this is deeply rewarding, especially as Ornithographies becomes recognized not only as photography but as a form of visual poetry rooted in movement.My work has been published in outlets like National Geographic, The Guardian, Audubon Society Magazine, BBC Science Focus, Granta Magazine, and WWF, among many others.

New Directions: Entomographies, Fluctus, and Beyond
Today, ten years later, I feel more motivated than ever. I’m currently working on several new projects, including Entomographies and Fluctus, where I continue exploring movement and morphology in insects and young birds during their first flight. I’m also beginning to explore new visual languages, such as sculpture, to expand this journey even further. The essence remains the same: studying movement to reveal forms we do not see with the naked eye.
A Decade of Gratitude and Flight
My wish is to continue on this path, sharing new images and new ways of seeing and feeling the natural world. Thank you to everyone who has joined me, supported me, or simply taken a moment to observe these images with curiosity and sensitivity. Thank you for being part of these ten years of bird photography, of love for nature, of flights, images, and encounters.
The Artistic Significance of Bird Prints
As Ornithographies continues to grow, many viewers discover the project through its transformation into bird prints and bird art prints. These prints are not simply representations of birds; they capture the invisible architecture of flight. Each piece preserves a gesture in time, allowing collectors, institutions, and nature enthusiasts to bring this movement into their own spaces.
Through high-resolution large-format printing, the images become windows into the physics of flight, scientific observation, and artistic interpretation. This is why Ornithographies has increasingly been embraced within both contemporary art and natural sciences.
How Ornithographies Evolved Into Bird Art Prints
The evolution from a digital project to museum-grade bird art prints was natural. The images invite contemplation, and printmaking transforms them into tangible objects. As the project entered galleries, museums, and private collections, the importance of physical scale and print quality became essential. A large-format print allows the viewer to immerse themselves in the flow of movement, making each piece both an artwork and a study of nature’s geometry.
Why Collectors Choose Ornithographies Bird Prints
Collectors often choose Ornithographies because it bridges two worlds rarely connected so seamlessly: the emotional sensitivity of nature photography and the analytic precision of motion study.
Each bird print offers:
- A unique visual interpretation of flight
- A blend of science, art, and natural observation
- A contemporary piece suitable for homes, galleries, and institutions
- A moment of nature captured as pure movement
These works are not traditional bird photographs but bird art prints that reveal what the eye cannot perceive alone.

FAQ
What makes Ornithographies different from traditional bird photography?
Ornithographies does not document a single instant; it reveals the entire gesture of flight. By merging multiple frames, the technique transforms movement into a continuous visual trace.
Are these bird prints available for collectors?
Yes. Many works from Ornithographies are available as limited edition bird prints and bird art prints, produced in museum-quality formats.
How are the images created?
The process involves recording high-speed sequences and extracting individual frames, which are combined into a single composition that reveals the full movement of the bird.
Where have Ornithographies works been exhibited?
They have appeared in museums and cultural institutions worldwide, including Cosmocaixa, NMCA Athens, PhotoVogue Festival, Blue Sky Center, and Muséum de Bordeaux.
What new projects follow Ornithographies?
The artist is currently developing Entomographies, Fluctus, and sculptural works that continue exploring natural movement in innovative ways.
