Chalten

Unique piece created from recycled metal and bamboo, hand-welded in my workshop in Madrid. Wall Hanging Art for interior and exterior decor.

The name of this piece refers to the Argentine municipality that is located within the Los Glaciares National Park, in a valley where the De las Vueltas rivers and the Fitz Roy or Chaltén hill converge, which stands out from the rest of the peaks that surround it.

Chaltén is a term from the Aonikenk language with which the ancient Tehuelches named this mountain that they considered sacred. Its meaning is smoking mountain, since that is the impression it gives when the clouds rise with the wind at its top.

Please note that these handmade pieces are very delicate and must be handled with great care. Never move them from the ends (fins or extremities for example).
