About Uman
Uman is a painter that lives and works in Upstate New York, known for her dazzling visual vocabulary and richly-hued worlds replete with gesture, geometry and the sublime. An intuitive artist, her influences abound from memories of her East African childhood, a rigorous education in traditional calligraphy and a fascination with kaleidoscopic color and design. With nods to self-portraiture and fictional topographies, Uman’s paintings speak fluently of liminal navigation. Her work contemplates both the physical and spiritual, intertwining abstraction, figuration, meditative patterning and a reverence for the natural world.
