Special Edition No. 100 | Fragile by ROBENS

After much effort and work, almost without realizing it, the Fragile collection reaches its 100th piece. From the first artworks to the latest ones, Fragile has evolved tremendously. I have tried countless techniques, applied various disciplines, and improved and learned in many aspects. It's time to celebrate, so here I present a special edition with two pieces: #100 and #101. Both are created on a matrix with the 100 miniature pieces.

Piece 100 holds a special meaning for me as it contains all 100 Fragile pieces together. It's incredible to see the entire collection in one artwork. On the other hand, piece #101 Diamond is an AIRDROP that I wanted to offer to all those who have ever trusted in me and acquired any edition of my artworks. Although I haven't been allowed to set it at $0 due to Nifty Gateway's policies, I have fixed it at the minimum possible price, $1. Additionally, I have set a limit of 3 editions per person.

I hope you enjoy both pieces of this special edition. I have worked diligently on them, and I believe they have turned out fantastic.

This is the story of "Fragile" trying to survive in a cruel and beautiful world...

...Fragile doesn't want to lose the only life he has working in front of a screen, but he doesn't know how to escape from the hamster wheel...

The head of 'Fragile' is a thin and brittle glass urn, extremely fragile, filled with an aqueous solution of the chemical compound formaldehyde at 37% which preserves and keeps his only eye alive. Any impact or breakage of the glass could end 'Fragile', so like any person, he is terrified of receiving the blows of life...

My pieces are like heartbeats, pounding every second with a subtle movement. They are vibrant and full of life, of joy, of sadness... They carry a lot of work and I put my soul into them. They are everything I have.

Here you can see MY EVOLUTION as an artist over time. Every day that I wake up in this crazy NEW WORLD I feel the need to draw something, to express myself by doing any garbage, to spit out any shit without too much connection or logic, without any predetermined artistic discipline, ... just draw what I want how I want.

I use all kinds of techniques that allow me to transform what I have in my imagination into reality, from the most basic to the most complex... freehand sketches on paper, oil painting, watercolor, photography, digital tools, AI dall-e, video, music, collage, ..., I am constantly testing things and open to experiment with all the possibilities that exist.

"Don’t believe everything you think. It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light. Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go, they merely determine where you start. Mental health problems don’t define who you are. There is a crack in everything, that’s how the light gets in. If there is no struggle, there is no progress. If you’re going through hell, keep going. Just when the caterpillar thought the world was ending, he turned into a butterfly."

About me: I love to imagine worlds and bring them to reality. Sometimes I spend days locked in my room playing with colors, shapes and concepts. I experiment with all kinds of artistic disciplines and I don't care too much about the result, I just concentrate and enjoy the creative process. It's not pleasure, it's need, it's my favorite therapy.
