Bio:

Rubén Flores Apaez, a Nahua artist from Guerrero, Mexico, has devoted 25 years to the ancient art of feather work, inspired by his deep admiration for birds. For over 18 years, he has collaborated with Gastón Aguilar as part of Arte Plumario Kozamalotl, focusing on bird representations. Sourcing feathers sustainably from certified aviaries and their own raised birds, Flores’ art preserves a valued cultural tradition while also providing income for his family. Flores takes pride in promoting this delicate art, which helps others appreciate the cultural significance of feathers in Indigenous history.
