Here is Something You Should See…


Alex “OTTO” Martin talks about how he became an artist while on his way to becoming an entrepreneur. OTTO delves into his own struggle with purpose and work while trying to live up to his father’s expectations, eventually becoming an artist.
Alejandro Martín Moreno Alonso (a.k.a “OTTO”) is a young, emerging artist. Born in Mexico City in 2000, his art work is a mixture of Bauhaus style and modern architecture with colorful lines and curves full of life. In 2016, Otto tried his hand at producing his first piece made entirely of metal. That was the moment he realized he wanted to be a sculptor. His sculptures are a combination of the same piece reproduced several times, creating a three-dimensional figure. Constantly looking for inspiration, sculpting gave Otto the ability to express himself creatively. His sculptures represent the care and love he has for his work and he views his art pieces as members of his family. He even considers his sculptures his kids; made by him and, at the same time, giving back a projection of his inner self. Otto had his first solo exhibition in February 2019 in San Antonio, TX. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
