Artist Replete presents Búho Posado by Federico Uribe. Translated as Perched Owl, this work marks a notable advancement in Uribe’s sculptural practice, showcasing his ability to construct an entire animal form exclusively from colored pencils. In this piece, Uribe elevates his already meticulous process, using individually cut pencils to build both structure and surface, resulting in a sculpture of remarkable density and precision.
Owls are often associated with wisdom and quiet observation, qualities embodied in the poised stillness of the figure. From the layered plumage to the piercing gaze, every detail reflects Uribe’s mastery of material and form. Búho Posado stands among the artist’s most intricate pencil works to date, reinforcing his ongoing evolution and continued relevance within the contemporary art market.
Federico Uribe is available for select private and institutional commissions. Commissions may include animal sculptures, large-scale installations, or site-specific works using his signature materials such as colored pencils and bullet casings.
Each commission is developed in close collaboration with the collector or institution. Collectors and institutions interested in commissioning a custom work may submit an inquiry here.
Federico Uribe is an Internationally known artist and one of the top selling artists at Art Basel in Miami. His unique style has created a long list of famous collectors, including Domenico Dolce (Dolce & Gabbana).
In 1988, Federico Uribe left Colombia and moved to New York where he would study a master in fine arts degree. Throughout those years he was guided by Luis Camnitzer, who taught him essential skills that Federico would later use for his own personal artworks. After years of studying and practicing, Federico traveled, living in Cuba, Mexico, Russia, England and Miami where he is currently based.
His most recent work includes a series of animal sculptures created with bullets and colored pencils. This representation with bullets was triggered when the artist recognized animals being hunted for fur and 90 percent of the remains thrown away. The series took on more playful direction with the use of color pencils, a medium often used during adolescence.
