As part of the 15th Annual Fileteadores Gathering, a group exhibition was held at the City Museum, in which I participated with my artwork *Piazzollana*.
This portrait of Astor Piazzolla, executed in the *fileteado porteño* style, traces part of his history and music through the various images that compose it.
At the center is Piazzolla with his bandoneón, captured in a gesture of unmistakable musical ecstasy. Wings symbolizing his *Ángel's Suite* frame his portrait, while the iconic sea lions from his native Mar del Plata hold up cornucopias—representing his creative abundance—from which his "lost birds" take flight.
In the four corners—surrounded by orange blossoms (a poetic allusion to the oranges in *Balada para un loco*)—are the instruments of his final quintet: guitar, double bass, piano, and violin. The image is completed by a fragment of *Balada para mi muerte*.
The exhibition took place from September 5 to 14, concluding precisely on Fileteador Day.
