Artist, Mexican, born 1942

The image shows a flock of birds in mid-flight against the sky on the left side and a tree on the right side. The horizon is not visible, and the birds and tree stand out in a monochrome color palette. The photo captures the birds' wings and the tree's branches and foliage in detail. The texture is naturalistic without visible brushstrokes, highlighting the contrast between the birds' motion and the tree's stillness.
