This Mexican Artist’s Sculptures Show The Hard Work Required To Achieve The ‘Perfect Body’
Victor Hugo Yañez Piña is a Mexican sculptor known for his hyperrealistic life-size bronze sculptures, busts, and wax figures. The artist says he can create a sculpture of any character and has created numerous ones of religious and historic figures, politicians, and actors in the past.
Just recently, Victor shared photos of some of his latest works – two sculptures titled Self-Made Man and Self-Made Woman. They depict a man and woman chiseling away their overweight bodies to reveal the ‘perfect bodies’ we’re so used to seeing plastered all over social media. And while the sculptor himself doesn’t directly say so, his latest works might have been inspired by a similar digital sculpture created by Brazilian graphic designer Gabriel D’Orazio back in 2015.

Victor plans to cast the sculptures in bronze and resin in the near future. The bronze one will set you back 28,000 pesos ($1244) and the resin one will cost 14,000 pesos ($622).
