Juan Uribe Gonzales is a Colombian artist born in Medellín in 1968. From an early age, he developed a natural creative instinct through drawing and cartoon-making, a sensibility that continues to shape the expressive and character-driven quality of his work.

His practice is rooted in figurative image-making with a strong graphic presence, often translating personality, mood, and visual attitude into bold painted compositions. His works are marked by immediacy, colour, and a playful yet striking visual language that gives each piece a distinct presence.
