In this episode of The Open Sketchbook podcast, Nicolás Uribe shares his journey as a painter, reflecting on the personal connections in his work, the challenges of the art world, and the influence of family and social media on his artistic expression. He emphasizes process over product, the power of vulnerability in art, and his transition from a gallery-focused painter to taking control over his market and creating a new Patreon to support it.
The conversation delves into finding an authentic artistic path amid commercial pressures, the complexities of simplicity in painting, and the realities of navigating gallery relationships. Uribe also explores the impact of technology on image-making, the value of slowing down, and the process of unlearning traditional teachings to develop a unique voice. Throughout, he highlights the importance of community, the human experience in art, and rediscovering past influences to shape contemporary creativity.
