Estelle Garcia Blanco is a textile 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).

Her pieces explore the cultural and gendered history of featherwork, drawing on the discreet survival strategies of females in nature. Her aesthetic embraces withdrawal, crafting thresholds between image and matter, disappearance and emergence.

​

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.​​
