Belén Uriel

Belén Uriel (born 1974 in Madrid) is a dynamic artist who currently resides and works in the vibrant cities of Lisbon and London. Her work challenges the way we perceive everyday objects and revolves around household items and their influence on our social behaviors. Uriel expertly manipulates materials like glass and metal to create organic shapes, which originate from objects designed for human use and interaction. Her sculptures, crafted from organic materials like paper pulp, glass, and bronze, are enigmatic constructions that stimulate contemplation. They are fragmented replicas of common objects, such as baskets, inflatable mattresses, and backpacks, all bearing the marks of human interaction. Uriel’s art breathes new life into these fundamental objects of consumption, leaving you pondering the captivating transformation process.

Art deconstructs norms and representations through potent symbolisms, the bold choice of materials, and evocative performances. A visceral investigation of identity and social conventions.
