  • Mabel Poblet’s message is not self-referential although each commentary implies her face, her hands, her feet, her life... Her work is the best concretion of her ecumenical aspirations that come from each suggested metaphor or allegory. It is not the gender discourse the epitome of her reflections but seduction, appearances imposed, and identities built; those are the topics that go through each of her actions. Cool and beautifully done as her work is, it quickly consecrated her in the art market as a renowned Cuban artist despite her declared youth.
