ROBERTO FABELO (Camagüey, Cuba, 1950) – Sirena (2006) - Pastel and oil on canvas. Dimensions: 80 × 50 cm; framed dimensions: 99 × 69 cm. Signed in the lower right corner ”FABELO 06”. This intriguing composition by renowned Cuban artist Roberto Fabelo depicts a nude female figure wearing a large, conch-shaped headdress, immersed in a haunting universe of organic forms that evoke fishhooks and marine elements. The work is an excellent example of the symbolic and surrealist language that characterizes Fabelo's production, where the human figure is transformed through poetic and fantastical associations that oscillate between beauty, dreams, and disquietness. The refined pastel technique allows for an extraordinary richness of chromatic nuances and a delicate gradation of light and shadow, while the composition demonstrates the mastery of drawing and narrative power that have made the artist one of the most important figures in contemporary Latin American art. Roberto Fabelo, recipient of Cuba's National Prize for Visual Arts, enjoys widespread international acclaim, and his works are part of important museums and public and private collections in Europe, the Americas, and Asia. The artwork is accompanied by a certificate issued by Roberto Fabelo Studio. It is presented in excellent condition. This lot is in an international warehouse (outside the EU).
