Description

MALUMA x URIBE - a collaboration between recording artist Maluma & artist Federico Uribe - is a sustainable art exhibition & charity auction Over the past year, recording artist Maluma and visual artist Federico Uribe have developed a friendship and have discussed their travels and personal experiences of seeing man-made trash spread through our beautiful planet. Both artists have an urgent desire to protect our world. Uribe has made a name for himself over the past 20 years as a master of utilizing objects – often recycled materials – to create life-like sculptures. When Maluma saw these works for the first time, he instantly connected with them and knew that Uribe’s message aligned with his principles. They have a shared desire to bring awareness to the discarded plastic and artificial materials scattered throughout the world’s landscapes and oceans and want to work together to contribute towards the solution. Uribe recently created an incredibly accurate portrait of Maluma’s face made from recycled plastic, which will serve as the album cover for Maluma's newest album “#7DJ.” The art piece will be auctioned off with 100% of the proceeds going to environmental non-profits presented by Maluma’s foundation, El Arte De Los Suenos. In Uribe's largest exhibition to date, hundreds of works are on display in an 18,500 square foot showroom in Miami, open to the public. A portion of the proceeds from any sale will benefit non-profits based in Colombia, including Fundacion Amigos del Mar, Jardín Botánico de Cartagena and Stand Up Providencia.
