The art of creating three-dimensional shapes from various materials is called sculpturing. This amazing sculpture is known as a Self-Made Man, a work of art by Mexican sculptor Victor Hugo Yañez Piña. 

Victor Hugo Yañez Piña was born in Mexico in 1967, and he graduated from the Mexican Art school. He is sculping hyperrealistic sculptures from bronze, resin, and wax. 

His specialty is sculpturing portraits for busts and statutes. In 2015, he was named as one of the 300 leaders due to his specialty in sculpturing.

His masterpiece, the Self-Made-Man, shows a man carving his own body into an ideal figure. Victor's work is a symbolic way to show people that everyone can make the best version of themselves, in their own unique way.

When you first take a look at the sculpture, you'll think it is about losing weight. But when you think of it more deeply, his work represents self-improvement in general, and how only working on yourself will make it happen.

After he created a Self-Made Man, Victor then made a complementary sculpture of a woman. Both of them are equipped with the same tools for shaping their own bodies.

His work is exhibited at the Guanajuato Museum and the Mexico City Wax Museum. But if you are interested to see more of his stunning work, you can see it online too, on Victor's Instagram.
