# Bulktastic Bird Art David Constantino Salazar Beefs Up his Pigeon Sculptures By Luisa Amanda Gomes | Published 2010-04-29 | Social Good Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/david-constantino-salazar References: [sweet-station](http://www.sweet-station.com/blog/?p=11618) & [primegallery](http://www.primegallery.ca/dynamic/artist_artwork.asp?ArtistID=173) David Constantino Salazar is heavily inspired by birds, especially pigeons. Salazar takes the form of the feathery pigeon and then exaggerates it to epic proportions. His view and interpretation of pigeons is quite unique. By buffing up these [urban creatures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1), he is attempting to portray the expansion of cities, while also paying homage to nature. He stated, “Rather than the reputed bacterial scruff, I imagine a delightfully gigantic pigeon adorned with magnificent plumage, a grand display of baroque extravagance.” David Constantino Salazar's work is stunning and it’s definitely worth checking out.
