Raúl Uribe Castillo (Concepción, Chile, 1912 – unknown) arrived in Mexico in 1936 to study easel painting and muralism, where he met his eventual partner, María Izquierdo. 

In 1939, he joined the editorial committee of the magazine Arte en México, directed by Benigno Rivas Cid, where his first works created in Mexico were published. In 1940, he participated in the painting, printmaking, and sculpture exhibition at the Galería de Arte de la Universidad de México (University of Mexico Art Gallery). Three years later, in 1943, he held a solo exhibition at the Galería Arte y Decoración (Art and Decoration Gallery). In 1947, he exhibited a series of eight oil portraits at the restaurant La Vie Parisienne.

He separated from María Izquierdo in 1953. Later, he collaborated with the magazine Impacto, where he had a section titled Galería de Arte de Impacto (Gallery of Impactful Art). Uribe Castillo lived in Mexico until the 1960s, when he returned to Chile and married a Chilean painter.
