Fernanda Uribe-Horta

As a multimedia artist, I explore my Mexican-Cuban identity through painting, sculpture, installation, and mixed media. Inspired by historical artifacts, mythology, and nature’s rhythms, my work becomes a visual journal of transformation, vulnerability, and self-awareness.

I am drawn to the biological world—the human body, flora, fauna, and materials that shift, erode, or transform over time. My culture’s relationship with death, along with my father’s anatomy books, shaped how I see the body—both in its fragility and vitality. By embracing impermanence, my work becomes a celebration of life’s energy and the importance of living with intention. This awareness guides my materials, as I choose elements that morph, decompose, and evolve—mirroring the beauty of change and renewal.

My background in dance and yoga informs a meditative approach to sculpting, etching, and painting. I allow each piece to unfold naturally, reflecting the rhythms of transformation and the balance between fragility and resilience.
