  • An exclusive painting comes from the hands of Mabel Poblet, one of the most sought-after contemporary Cuban artists. Spectacular though it is, her unstoppable work brings novelty, freshness and a little bit of cute to the fine arts of Cuba.
  • It is a fantastic creative art, the work of Mabel Poblet.
  • El erotismo de Tom Wesselmann y lo grandilocuente de su obra aun retumban en generaciones de artistas como Mabel Poblet. De tal suerte, la obra de Mabel Poblet se universaliza mucho más de lo que la crítica costumbrista ha apuntado, afirmado por una excelente factura técnica basada en el contrapunteo de las más tradicionales técnicas como la pintura y la incorporación de materiales novedosos persistentes en su trabajo.
  • The magnetism of the pop art incorporated by the artist in her work, explodes in the most sublime of aesthetic rejoicings, an everlasting experience for the eye. Spectacular though it is, Mabel Poblet’s art brings novelty, freshness and a little bit of cute to the fine arts of Cuba. This unique artist has really broken through into the Cuban popular consciousness, by all accounts.
  • Poblet’s work is more universalized than what critics have given her credit for, and more so because she stands on a strong technique based on the contrast of the traditional techniques, like painting, and the incorporation of other materials, constant in her work.
  • Tom Wesselmann creó sus rostros sin rasgos a excepción de la boca y el leit motiv aterrizó en la creación de Mabel Poblet para marcar su autorreferencialidad. Desde lo hermético de su lenguaje artístico, la artista hace cómplice de su autorreferencialidad al receptor más apático, invitando a un universo de reflexiones que parte del yo (individualidad) para convertirse en cualquier otro (colectividad).
  • Tom Wesselmann's eroticism and the grandiloquence of his work still resound in generations of artists like Mabel Poblet.

Aun te veo (I still see you) belongs to one of the founding series in the creative doings of young Cuban artist Mabel Poblet. From the hermetic of her artistic language, Mabel gives complicity of her self-referenciality to the most apathetic of recipients, thus inviting a universe of reflection from the self to become the other. Therefore, Poblet’s work is more universalized than what critics have given her credit for, and more so because she stands on a strong technique based on the contrast of the traditional techniques, like painting, and the incorporation of other materials, constant in her work. The magnetism of the pop art incorporated by the artist in her work, explodes in the most sublime of aesthetic rejoicings, an everlasting experience for the eye.
