Aves De Venecia
Mateo
Protagonist · bird-whisperer · coffee-farm boy with a notebook
Mateo sketches the Colombian highlands beside rows of ripening cherries, listening closer than speech allows after the spirits of the ridge choose him.
Backstory
Returning from the terraces with mud on his boots and graphite on his cuffs, Mateo catalogs each bird messenger—its cadence becomes his language of care for the valley.
Visual identity
Coffee-stained trousers, linen shirt with rolled sleeves and suspenders, green sketchbook etched with hummingbirds.
