Ruben Ubiera

At the age of 15, Ubiera’s family relocated to the Bronx, NY, where he was profoundly impacted by the surrounding graffiti art scene. However, it took him some time to fully appreciate its influence on his artistic journey. In his artistic endeavors, Ubiera endeavors to encapsulate essential elements of his past, present, and subjects through his skillful use of lines and forms. His body of work encompasses still-life and situational portraiture, but his primary focus lies in capturing the complexity of his immediate urban surroundings and the intricate range of human emotions. He achieves this through the utilization of bold and expressive lines, vibrant graphic color contrasts, and a fusion of youthful restlessness with intricate detail.
