Frederico Uribe is an artist that lives and works in Miami. His works are similar to the tasks that we receive in our object class, which is to create art work out of found objects. I came across this artist from the "Inspiration Grid" website which didn't quite hold much information about him so I decided to search his name on Google and was able to find his website. On his website it states, "In 1996, abandoning his paintbrushes and attracted by the usually neglected beauty of simple objects in daily use, he began to observe them with care, collect them, set them side by side and combine them, so that they became unusual instruments of a new aesthetic, full of color, irony and lively playfulness." I believe that it is an amazing thing, being able to take ordinary objects that people over look daily and creating it into an artwork that people would find captivating.
