He then worked for companies such as Siemens, Canon, Interlub and Agilent Technologies in various positions and locations in Germany, Spain and Mexico. At the same time, he studied audiovisual art at the Centro de Artes Audiovisuales in Guadalajara, Mexico from 1998 to 2001 .

He has lived and worked in Berlin since 2007.
plant
Ignacio Uriarte is known for his work, for which he uses utensils from the banal world of everyday office life. The repetition of casual gestures and the decontextualization of the materials used result in works that refer to Minimal Art and Conceptual Art of the 1960s and 1970s in terms of form and content .
