Collection: WOVEN PHOTOGRAPHS

"Keeping his art alive. We lost Fernando to a tsunami that devastated Asia right after Christmas 2004. He was swept out to sea and never seen again. I have accepted Fernando’s death but I do not accept that his unique and artistic photography must go with him. Quite the opposite. I do my best to keep it going, by weaving them myself maintaining the high quality and craftsmanship established by Fernando. I continue his legacy using the finest materials available and as environmentally as possible. Like a brotherly collaboration. Feeling his energy pass through my hands as I weave." - Marcelo.

These woven photographs bring cultures together. Fernando would point out that weaving is an essential part of the development of all cultures in the world.

Woven photographs are made from two identical museum quality archival Giclee  prints. The prints are hand cut in very thin strips and hand weaved back together adding texture, drama and relief to an already striking image. Each piece, from cutting to weaving is completely hand made. Nuances in color, weaving, and alignment make each woven photograph a one of a kind.

Artwork includes a certificate of authenticity, signed by Marcelo Bengoechea, his brother and Master Weaver. Thank you for keeping Fernando's art alive!
