About this artwork

“According to the old laws of heraldry, which dictate how coats of arms and flags are to be designed, the German flag is incorrect, because according to the rules of heraldry, between two colours there must be gold or silver. Red and black cannot be together. The Belgian flag, with the same colours, is heraldically correct: gold between red and black. This rule had an artisanal reason: coats of arms are enamelled; powdered glass must be sprinkled… on the metal surface, and so that the colours do not mix when melted in the furnace, there must be spaces of bare metal.

On flags, yellow is designated as gold. That is why the colours of the German flag are black, red and gold, not black, red and yellow.” Eva Heller

This pelican is heraldically correct.

Credentials

Works on commission

Joaquín Acevedo is a visual artist whose work stems from a fundamental principle: to think and explore like a child. For him, art is not a rigid destiny, but a state of wonder where play is the artist's most serious work.

His practice eschews limiting labels, transforming ordinary materials like wood, Legos, moss, and cardboard into extraordinary pieces. This freedom has led him to explore live art, notably his participation in the Alto Sessions alongside artist Olivia García, where he fused visual creation and spontaneity in real time.

Understanding art as "pure emotion" and a bridge that needs no translation, Joaquín creates an emotional diary that connects immediately with the viewer. This universal vision has taken his work to global markets, with pieces sold in Miami, New York, Vancouver, and Kyoto, solidifying an international career that celebrates the innocence and creative power of playfulness.
