## Hello hive world!

#

​

For a few weeks I wanted to share my latest works and concepts, but since I received the news that I would attend NFC Lisbon 2022, I decided that I would prefer to make the following posts in a certain order. I want to narrate my trip to Lisbon at the same time that I tell you about it, or simply remember my jorney in the NFTs.

Writing on this blog has been one of the best experiences, because unlike a daily journal, through this I have been able to connect with wonderful people that I would not have met otherwise. This blog has allowed me to connect in a very deep way with other artists who, from afar, have become my friends and a fundamental support in my career.

However, not everything has happened with people in the distance. People I know and love deeply also live (maybe meta-life) in hive, and it's wonderful to see how they share part of their lives with you. Lives I'm a part of.

A couple of months ago I was invited to became an artist on SuperRare through the Metafísica space, a space created by and for Latin Americans, where our stories, our vision and our voice are told from our mouths.

​

This is a fundamental step in my career, which not only inspires me to continue creating, but also inspires me to continue delving into and investigating all those concepts, mysteries, words, silences, and stories that have given shape to who I am now.

Being recognized as an artist by great artists is something that gives a special meaning to what I do. I tell you why:

When I started with NFTs I didn't consider myself an artist, I considered myself a person with artistic gifts, skills, etc. But the word artist, apart from being immense, terrified me, because somehow I felt that what I was doing might not be enough to receive such a name. It was after connecting with peers and collectors that I recognized myself as such. My favorite painters and artists quickly stopped being just those from the traditional world that I admired in books and museums. Now they were people of all ages, in some corner of the world, telling their own story through brushwork or movement and breaking with tradition. There I found my space. There we met.

And there I am now. On this journey that started in 2019 blogging about my pen and paper processes, and a year later I was allowed to pay for my first tools to start making NFTs.

### What to expect from NFT Lisbon?

It is very difficult to tell you what I can expect from this conference, first because it is the first time that I have attended an in-person event on NFT, then because I have always considered myself a bit shy, and also because I am excited to meet wonderful people and finally assign tact. , voice and face to his words and works of art in my head.

The conference will be held on April 4-5 and I can't wait to share each of my experiences with you.

Presentations, conferences, music and wonderful people who are influencing this space.

Before leaving, I DM each of my friends and collectors asking who would be there: many of the friends I have made during my hive and NFT journey, as well as those collectors who have supported me from the beginning. Knowing that I would finally find myself in a physical space with many of them filled me with excitement.

### THE BROKEN THING 

​

As a curious fact I want to tell you that my glasses broke when I saw, hehehe.

Fortunately, the sweetest boyfriend a person may have bought me these glasses before I traveled.

My old glasses do not go in the trash, but in a box with very special memories, because behind them there is a very funny story of how they were broken when my trip to Brazil began, and how they were repaired. I will surely share this story later, perhaps when I return to Caracas.

​

### WHAT I FORGOT

​

I still don't know what stayed with me, lol. Surely when I get to Madrid I will tell what I have in my suitcase and I will tell you. But there is something that I left behind and it was not on purpose: the impostor syndrome.

These last few days have been very stressful. Attending a big event like this, meeting artists you admire can be something that makes you feel pressured, that makes you doubt yourself.

In recent years I have had the support of wonderful friends, who have helped me become what I am today in a way that they themselves cannot imagine (today I am what I want to be) and their voices have motivated me to listen to mine. But there were also voices that told me the opposite for a long time, these voices sometimes appear repeating to me that it's all by chance, that it's just luck, that this will end at some point. And then it worries me, because it is difficult to rebelliously oppose what endures.
