Fernanda Uribe

Fernanda Uribe is a visual artist living and working in Brooklyn, NY. Through her paintings, sculptures and installations, she weaves an exploration of her Mexican-Cuban identity as inspired by a deep connection of ancient artifacts, mythologies and nature’s fragile but perfect harmony. Her slow, but thoughtful, technique of hand-sculpting, etching and painting mimic the natural process of metamorphoses and decadence, infusing an omnipresent sense of life into her work. We carry several of Fernanda’s pieces both in our boxes and on the Marketplace. Find her hand sculpted and painted vases in the Welcome Home Box.
