This article is part of our Women in Net Art series, a weekly column curated by artist Nicole Ruggiero. Read more articles from this series here.This week we're featuring María Teresa Aravena—who also goes by Marítei—a 24-year-old digital artist from Chile. Where to start? I stumbled upon this amazing creature's Instagram very recently. There is seriously so much detail in her work—I absolutely love it. I don't know if I could ever make a piece with so much going on and have it be half as stunning as Marítei's work. It's so beautiful, and she definitely redefines "internet princess." I feel like I'm entering her 3D castle every time I look at her work.
