Mabel Poblet (*1986 in Cienfuegos) graduated from both “San Alejandro” Art Academy and the University of the Arts (ISA) with top grades. Her distinctive, penetrating style has made her one of the best-known visual artists in Cuba.

It references the exhibition's focus on…Read more …

They are focused on something that seems to be outside of the visible or internally. The figures are often depicted against a contrasting colored background and without a concrete environment:…Read more …

ARTIST’S EXHIBITION CONCEPT - Havana, 2017 - In a Net Art piece in which the spaces of art and life were intermingled, the Italian couple known as the 01 exposed their private life in a website that enabled users to see what they were doing at that moment, regardless of the time of day or night. With that gesture they put on the table the topic of privacy in the internet era, treating their own life as a work of art . Similarly, the recording of time in diaries and man’s need to…Read more …
