    Seven days in sunny June. ☀️☀️☀️
    My latest work has been featured on the 3Dooodler blog, spotlighting how I use 3D pens in my sculptural practice. • There are so many applications for this technology that are yet to be explored in the fine arts, and in excited to keep discovering them! #mexicanartist #artistamexicano #3dpenart #3dpen #moonart @3doodler @allnet.de #3dsculpting #artistspotlight
    Metztli or "La Luna" Not only a part of my #loteria series, but also a representation of the Aztec goddess of the moon who sacrificed herself to give us light in the dark. Auh in iquac uel ompoliuh, mitoa: ommic in metzli. Sculpted with a @3doodler pen in 200+ hours, this piece is set to be cast in bronze 12 times. #moonphase #moonphaseart #mexicanartist #artemexicano #3dprinted #moonmagic #esculturacontemporanea #contemporarysculpture #bronzecasting #bronzepatina #nahuatl #lotería #azteca #mythological #fullmoonritual

    What is the skill you have always wanted to learn? I had always been afraid of adding color to my art, so the lockdowns were a great chance to get out of my comfort zone and learn a new skill. This small painting is one of my first attempts to paint with oils. Still a long way to go before I'm Roberto Ferri, but I'm definitely less afraid of colors and enjoying the experience.

    La Estrella Part of my Lotería paintings, where I try to portray each and every symbol in the Mexican bingo in my own perspective. This specific star made out of hyperboles is one of the first notebook sketches I ever drew. This guiding star has led me through many different paths in life, and ultimately, to pursue my dream of creating art. Who knows where I'd be without this first star — definitely not 9000km away from my hometown, living the artistpreneur life in Brussels. 🇲🇽 Esta es una de mis pinturas de la Lotería, donde estoy representando cada carta bajo mi propia experiencia de vida. Esta estrella en especifico esta creada de hiperbolas y es uno de los primeros bocetos que dibujé en mis cuadernos en prepa. Es este boceto y esta estrella la que me ha llevado por muchos diferentes caminos, y ahora me lleva a seguir mis sueños de vivir del arte. Quien sabe donde estaría sin esta estrella, pero definitivamente no estaría a 9000km de mi rancho, viviendo de artista en Bruselas. #mexicanartist #lotería #loteria #artistamexicano #artecontemporáneo #oilpaintersofinstagram #mathematic #geometricpainting #donclemente
    What should I copy+paste next? I'll be copy and pasting things in 3D, starting with a simple coffee mug.☕ Let's see how this goes! #linkinbio @3doodler #mexicanartist #copypaste #copyandpaste #butfirstcoffee #3dprintinglife #3dprintable
    Over the past week, I had the honor of leading a group of 12 international students, as they created an exhibition for the @sachsenhausenmemorial The students went from never having touched a 3D pen before, to designing and producing their own art pieces. The goal: to explore new ways of remembering and paying tribute to those who lost their lives or freedoms during the Holocaust. The end results were these two pieces, created using @3doodler pens. What are your thoughts on these artworks? What do they communicate to you?
