Uematsu’s interests are in the essentials of life; such as the law of gravity, nature, earth, and the universe. These inspirations inspired him to create cone shaped sculptures, shaved stone sculptures, as well as installations with film and a live tree. His works are all beyond what is normally expected, and expands the boundaries of expression. Uematsu has received high marks in exhibitions both domestic and internationally. These exhibitions ranged from museums, galleries, to public spaces.
In 2013, he received the most prestigious sculpture award in Japan, the Teijiro Nakahara Award.
Currently he is based in Osaka, Paris, and Dusseldorf and works internationally.
