Sabela García Cuesta

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 and social realities of women, where bodily experience, cultural expectations, and emotional landscapes intersect.

Through painting and participatory storytelling, she addresses themes like hormonal cycles, PMS, beauty ideals, fertility, intimacy, and the quiet pressure to be perfect. Her work gives form to what is often invisible or unspoken, using layered symbolism to speak to the raw truth of being a woman.

A highly social artist, Sabela actively involves women in her creative process inviting them to share personal stories that influence the emotional language of her pieces. For her, art is a space for connection, healing, and honest conversation.

She is currently preparing a new body of work for her solo exhibition at Fabrik der Künste in Hamburg (July 2027), where she will continue to dive into the many layers of contemporary femininity through her evolving symbolic language.
