Welcome to a space where I grant life to buildings, monuments, and statues, with a wide variety of colors and a very precise level of details, where the perspective and the chosen forms create an environment where architecture finds its home in my creative mind, a place to belong.
7 WONDERS it's the biggest project I have been working on, for my 1 Year anniversary I wanted to create something big, with a lot of work behind and mint it in the blockchain, and so I did.
I draw the new wonders of the world with a big versatile color palette, from a perspective where the ones looking at them would feel the place, would feel that they are in the place, and grant to the monuments/buildings a place where they should be, a magical place.

Christ the Redeemer
Christ the Redeemer is one of the most influential statues in the world and in Christianity. With more than 30 meters high and located on the mount of Rio de Janeiro, the statue of Christ has a view of the entire city. The statue was inaugurated in 1931 and is currently the third largest statue of Christ in the world.
The original construction is made of ferroconcrete, but the change in the color and material in my illustration is due to the inspiration of the Olympic games held in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and their award categories; Gold, silver and bronze.
The Illustrations are 5 of 5 editions on Open sea, but only the Jesuses are 1 of 1 each.
Golden,Silver and bronze 1 of 1 Edition Statue of Christ the Redeemer is the award for the first persons to collect the six 5 of 5 editions of this project. Only the true Collectors can have them.
