Sabela García Cuesta is a Spanish multidisciplinary artist based in Hamburg. Working in what she calls female symbolic surrealism, her art explores the inner worlds of the female experience.

Sabela is inspired by religious tales, mythology and real life experiences on her own skin. She plays with metaphoric and symbolic interpretations and many times adds a layer of humor. She works in series of research and intuitive work around a topic that takes her to produce pieces or artwork in written form, sculptures, paintings and drawings.

The female experience and subconscious are the place where our hidden desires, dreams, freedom co-habit but also fears, pain, guilt and shame. She has carried out until date her most popular series of work consisting on installations of paintings of women’s breasts portraits.

Sabela trespasses the canvas and brings her art to real life by involving others in her creative process by inviting them to share stories or co-create. For her, art is a space for connection, healing, and honest conversation.
