Antonio Uvalle

Antonio Uvalle (Saltillo, Coahuila; 1962) is a visual artist, trained in photography, and specialized in the production of AI-processed images. After an accident left him in a wheelchair at the age of 22, the artist continued his passion for photography, which he had developed since his adolescence. As a street photographer, Uvalle has honed a sharp eye for capturing the fleeting and authentic moments of urban life. His ability to observe and connect with his surroundings has allowed him to develop a sensitivity for creating powerful imagery. AI has enabled him to transcend the limitations of his physical mobility and expand his artistic imagination.

Antonio Uvalle’s career has been enriched through dialogue with iconic figures such as Laura Cohen, Graciela Iturbide, Pedro Meyer, Henri Cartier-Bresson, André Kertész, Francesca Woodman, Christian Tagliavini, Martin Schoeller, Irving Penn, among others. In September 2023, Uvalle participated in his most recent group exhibition at Casa HotBook, alongside renowned artists like Andreas Gursky, Thierry Coulon, Ana Hop, Dan Tague, Georges Rousse, Gabriel Orozco, Chuck Close, Chen Wei, Peter Lindbergh, Liu Bolin, and Guillermo Kahlo. The artist has explored the genre of portraiture and the creation of mythological fictions, all while maintaining a vitalistic aesthetic perspective.
