Bitcoin, the world's hardest money, now doubles as a canvas for digital legacy. Through Ordinals, artists can immortalize their work on the most secure, decentralized, and uncensorable network ever created.

Introducing the 10x10 LATAM Art Collective: a groundbreaking collaboration between Gamma, Xverse, and ten pioneering Latin American artists making their Bitcoin debut. This collection is more than art—it's a cultural bridge, bringing the vibrant stories of Latin America to the forefront of the digital renaissance.

Each piece in this curated collection is a window into a Latin American country, capturing everything from the poignant journeys of migrants to the triumphs of regional innovators. The artists' unique styles blend with their cultural narratives, creating a rich tapestry of LATAM experiences. By featuring Latin American voices, we're not just preserving art—we're decentralizing culture itself, ensuring diverse perspectives are seen, heard, and valued on a global stage.

Join us in celebrating this fusion of technology and tradition, as we explore the depth and diversity of Latin American culture through the lens of digital art on Bitcoin.

Visit this page for links to each collection, and without further ado, we're excited to introduce your 10x10 Artists as they describe their artistry and featured piece:


Superama

This vibrant and captivating artwork is a celebration of female empowerment and innovation within the cryptocurrency space. The central figure is a woman with long, flowing pink hair and a confident expression. She wears a pair of oversized sunglasses emblazoned with the BITCOIN symbol, but when augmented reality is applied it changes to the word SATOSHI, a nod to the enigmatic creator of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto. The background is a kaleidoscope of colors and shapes, reminiscent of the complex and ever-evolving nature of blockchain technology.

The artwork is a powerful metaphor for the growing movement of women in the crypto industry. It symbolizes the open-source nature of blockchain platforms, which encourage collaboration and innovation from diverse perspectives. The inclusion of runes, a key component of Bitcoin's underlying technology, further emphasizes the connection between the artwork and the cryptocurrency world.

As the first of its kind, inscribed on Bitcoin as an ordinal, this piece holds extraordinary significance. It represents a groundbreaking moment in the intersection of art, technology, and female empowerment.

SB_Bitcoinary_Renaissance

In "BTCary Renaissance", the artist pays tribute to Bitcoin, the women within this movement and the pioneering blockchain technology through a vibrant and eclectic digital collage. The bust, adorned with retro-futuristic sunglasses making a telephone call as an invitation call, symbolizes the intersection of classic and contemporary elements, reflecting the combination of tradition and innovation inherent to the cryptographic world. The playful inclusion of pink high heels as well as scattered piles of Bitcoin coins invites viewers into a whimsical yet poignant exploration of the digital currency's impact on society and culture. The use of colors and dynamic triangular elements is something we can see in the Soho works, as well as the use of surreal images emphasizes the emotional and transformative potential of crypto art, celebrating the decentralized and democratizing spirit of blockchain technology.

This piece invites viewers to reflect on the continuous evolution of digital economies, the role of women within these new paths, the creative and sentimental journey of artists and cryptocurrency enthusiasts. By fusing iconic symbols with contemporary digital motifs, the artwork captures the essence of a new renaissance driven by technological innovation and the creative expression of the masses seeking new forms of connection and freedom.

I'm JUDASACA, an AR artist specializing in creating immersive Augmented Reality experiences. Based in the vibrant city of Bogotá, I'm at the forefront of blending digital and physical worlds. My passion lies in pushing the boundaries of AR technology to craft unique and engaging art pieces that captivate and inspire.

My journey took a significant turn during the NFT NYC expo, a pivotal moment that opened my eyes to the incredible potential of AR art within the NFT space. This event was more than just an exhibition; it was a revelation. I realized how far we can actually go together, blending art and technology to create groundbreaking experiences. The response to my AR projects was overwhelming, reinforcing my belief in the power of immersive art. This experience solidified my commitment to pushing the boundaries of what AR can achieve. It became clear that the possibilities are limitless when we harness the latest advancements in AR and the collaborative spirit of the community.

As a hybrid artist, I combine traditional art with digital art through augmented reality. The philosophy behind my art is that nothing stays the same. I seek to find new ways of interaction between art and technology and explore interesting proposals for those who come across my work. I aim to show my reality and how I see the world today, delving into a deep exploration of the identity of brands and how they reflect on us, a concept I term Brandalism.

My work has been exhibited in various places, including my home country of Colombia, as well as Miami, Costa Rica, New York, Portugal, Barcelona, and Japan. Each exhibition has been an opportunity to share my vision and connect with audiences on a global scale.

In the past year, I've dedicated myself to refining my AR skills and developing innovative techniques that set my work apart. By leveraging cutting-edge AR technologies, I've been able to create experiences that are not only visually stunning but also deeply interactive. My goal is to elevate the viewer's experience, transforming everyday spaces into extraordinary art installations.

I'm committed to advancing the field of AR art and sharing my knowledge with the community. Through workshops, collaborations, and public installations, I aim to inspire others to explore the endless possibilities of Augmented Reality. Join me on this exciting journey as we push the limits of creativity and technology together!

This artwork is designed to exist within the Bitcoin blockchain, visually manifesting as a QR code, symbolizing the ubiquitous integration of such codes in the digital age, especially within the realms of cryptography, blockchain, and technology.

The composition features iconic Bitcoin memes such as Pepe, Doge, and runes, elements that permeate and fuel the crypto ecosystem. These symbols reflect the culture and humor that dominate the space, often overshadowing traditional art forms. The artwork ingeniously juxtaposes these memes with a central piece of art, creating a satirical yet insightful commentary on the dichotomy between meme culture and fine art within the crypto world.

The palette of the artwork is a vivid tribute to the colors associated with Bitcoin and the distinctive style of Karen Medina. Known for her vibrant and expressive use of color, she infuses the piece with her characteristic celebration of the human body and female empowerment. The artwork stands as a testament to the empowerment of women, asserting their presence in technology and economics.

Untitled_Artwork (1)

Hey there! I’m a physical and digital artist hailing from the vibrant streets of Mexico City. I’ve always had a passion for bringing my imagination to life through my artwork. Whether it’s painting on canvas or creating digital masterpieces on my iPad. I love exploring different mediums and techniques. Art is my way of expressing myself and connecting with others. 

I am 28 years old, my formal start in learning artistic techniques was after high school at the Academia San Carlos. Academia San Carlos is a very important fine arts school in Mexico. I have participated in different projects and jobs that allowed me to be self-taught. I really like taking online courses. They have allowed flexibility for me to learn about the production of social events, fantasy makeup, modeling, editing and content creation.

As for my digital experience, I started making creations with pixel technique in bitcoin stamps, a community that accepted me and gave me a lot of support. Thanks to the Bitcoin Stamps community I have been able to evolve in the technical and creative part, leading me to collaborate with other Web3 platforms. 

The preparation and immersion in the Web world has allowed me to explore and open my most creative side, which has allowed me to work with big brands generating content, murals, workshops with social work, exhibitions and unique experiences. I like to define my artistic style as playful, creative with classic but modern touches (like memes) at the same time.

Initially friends recommended Pepe meme art. I didn't like the idea of making Pepe art or becoming noun as an artist who only makes memes, but then I had an idea to recreate classic physical art masterpieces with Pepe art and Web3 memes. I combined personal favorites from the traditional art world and Web3 culture, while always try to show my Latin roots.

I’m super excited to bring my artwork “FuegoAF” to BTC , a creation that represents the inner fire of Colombian’s souls, using the bitcoin colors to represent who I am.

My street art plays with the joy of everyday life through a character who embodies the madness of the street: Palometa the pigeon. As a result each piece turns into a unique show of Caribbean happiness, iconic from my Colombian and Latin American culture.

I have participated in different art festivals and exhibitions in Bogotá, Miami, New York, Barcelona Portugal, Pakistan and Japan. In the same way, I have participated in national and international printed and digital publications.

In the Web3 space I focus on building bridges between physical art and virtuality through digital interactions.
