Estelle Garcia Blanco is a visual artist and featherworker whose practice merges installation and sculpture.

Before graduating from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Textile Design, she also trained in featherwork while working for Chanel in Paris. She works exclusively with reclaimed feathers—from old pillows (goose, duck) and urban finds (pigeon, parakeet).

Drawing inspiration from systems of classification and field gestures related to observation and collecting, her work lies at the intersection of art and life sciences. The feather, both material and image, becomes in her work a way to reflect on the boundaries between the human and the animal.

​

She is one of the winners of the Espronceda Prize delivered by the Royal Academy of Fine Arts and laureate of the VOCATIO funds, patronized by BNP Paribas Fortis. She also won the Prize of Excellence from the City of Brussels upon graduating.​​
