Estelle Garcia Blanco (b. 1995) is a Belgian artist working with textile and feather-based installations and sculptural paintings. She holds a Master’s in Textile Design from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels (2022) and trained in featherwork (CAP Plumassière) at Maison Lemarié (Chanel) in Paris (2020).
Her practice explores the symbolic figure of the bird, both as a poetic image and as an emblem of ecological collapse. Feathers, as her primary material, embody fragility and transformation. Through them, Garcia Blanco captures the movement of life, the presence of the wild, and the memory of what no longer exists. Her work creates bridges between the animal and human realms, revealing the tensions that unite and divide them.
Repurposing materials such as second-hand feathers and textile remnants, she transforms the everyday into evocative forms. These objects—compressed, woven, or delicately inserted—become testaments to a world in flux. Blending softness with mineral elements like plaster, her work questions the boundary between nature and artifice, lightness and weight.
Garcia Blanco’s recent exhibitions include “Efemera Infinite” at the Espronceda Institute of Art and Culture (Barcelona, 2023), “Ruta Art Nou” at the Barcelona Emerging Art Festival (2023), and “Dénouement” at Patinoire Royale – Galerie Valérie Bach (Brussels, 2022). In 2025, her work will be showcased at Galerie Espace-D and Chez Olivia in Brussels.
She is the recipient of the Espronceda Prize from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts, the VOCATIO Prize under the mentorship of Catherine de Braekeleer (BNP Paribas Fortis), and the Excellence Prize from the City of Brussels.
At E-Art Project, Estelle Garcia Blanco offers a poetic and tactile reflection on the traces we leave behind—an invitation to consider the fragile threads connecting memory, material, and the more-than-human world.
