Federico Uribe
Federico Uribe (born 1962) is a Colombian artist living in Miami, Florida.
Biography
Uribe grew up in Bogota, Colombia and attended the University of Los Andes. He continued to study painting in New York under the guidance of Luis Camnitzer. He has lived in Miami since 2000.
Uribe describes his early work as "painful paintings relating to religion." In 1996 he turned away from oil paint and "started playing with objects." He realized that is calling was not to draw or paint on canvas, but rather to mold objects into vibrants images.
Style and technique
Uribe finds opportunity and plasticity in bits and pieces that society associates with one particular task and repurposes them into beautiful works of art. He creates images that are assemblages of items such as colored shoe laces and pins, cut up pieces of color pencils, or electrical wires and components. His work is "constructed and woven in ways, curious and unpredictable, intricate and compulsive. Handcraft is essential to Uribe, who embraces a tradition of exquisitely made objects. 'I like the idea,' he says, 'of leaving my materials visible as a testimony of my process and how much work I put into it.'"

Uribe
The Merindad de Uribe or Uribealdea is a historical subdivision of Biscay, Basque Country, Spain. Today, the "Uribe" is usually defined by subdivisions caused by the urban development of the Greater Bilbao conurbation. These are:
Additionally, Barakaldo is now considered to be part of Left Bank and a few rural municipalities of the southernmost tip of historical Uribe are grouped with other areas in Arratia-Nerbioi.
Uribe is also a Basque surname. Etymologically it seems to read under the city/town but its meaning is not clear. Álvaro Uribe, the former president of Colombia, bears this surname, and Mexican Manuel Uribe has for some time been the heaviest man on earth. In Latin America, there are other branches of the family in Ecuador and Mexico.
