Human Nature Design For Reconstructing Natural Puma Shoes

In the hands of Columbia artist Federico Uribe, it has become the design element of reconstructing nature and expressing human nature (Human Nature).

These sculptures, similar to the size of real animals, are made of more than 700 pairs of PUMA sports shoes, wood blocks, wire and thousands of shoelaces.

One of the blood red "tigers" is especially wonderful: its eyes are sharp, as if it is about to jump out of the "grass" and attack the prey ahead.

Early in painting, he became interested in sculpture. He often used milk bottles, coins, screws, and small objects from the stalls to be used as materials to glue together to create sculpture.

With its creativity and sensitivity in color, shape, texture, line and symbolism, Uribe quickly became the leader of contemporary concept creation artists. Its works have also been exhibited around the world.

The product concept of PUMA is that it brings unexpected surprises to people through scientific and technological inventions and revolutionary designs, which has a strong resonance with the design style of Uribe.

Uribe has the chance to cooperate with Miwara Yasuhiro, Alexander McQueen, Alexander von Slobbe, and so on.

"When I started dealing with shoes, I naturally began to think: where did they come from?

Oh, nature!

Nature has given us everything we need in life, so I have the desire to praise her, and have produced the idea of using shoes to reconstruct the nature.

Raccoons, lizards, rabbits, swans, parrots...

Uribe, based on the inspiration from different styles of sports shoes, reduced them to a lifelike sculpture and named it "Human Nature".

This series of works has been recognized by PUMA and has been made into a series of advertisements, appearing in billboards and magazines all over the world.

Uribe said.
