Carla Uriarte / ARTIST/ Writer of feelingz
Carla Uriarte (1990 Philippines > California > Madrid > Sydney) is a multi disciplinary artist whose practice focuses on painting, design, writing and video.
Carla’s sporadic nature has caused her to cross paths with many sides of herself causing an exploration of themes such as evolution, ancestry, motherhood, and connection. Her work's main objective is to externalize internal emotions allowing the viewer to feel a sense of belonging, comfort and camaraderie within their own journey. The symbols used within her art include: fire (the soul), tapestry folk- like borders (her filipino heritage), waves (rebirth), birds (fleeting feelings and movement), horses (galloping with intense purpose), butterflies (metamorphosis), sun (stability, home and warmth).
Her previous exhibitions include The Ladies Network 2014 - 2016, The Paramount House Solo exhibition ‘The most boring story part 1’ 2017. ‘Feelings’ 2024
The artist has worked with labels such as Romance Was born, Ganni, Vogue, Harper's Bazaar, Incu, Art Helps Heaps and Vice. She was Head Curator at Down Under Gallery 2017 - 2020 as well as Co-founder and Head Curator of Abstract Thoughts Gallery 2020 - 2023. She is currently Creative Director and co owner of Cafe Freda’s.
