The Sea in Your Mind, 2024, is the artist’s most
significant exploration of monumental bronze to date.
Like much of the artist’s best work, it entwines the
sublime and the surreal, the human and the animal,
the realistic and the symbolic. The final product is
staggering both in beauty and scale, the romantic
encapsulation of the past three decades of a
remarkable career.
In 2024, Master Roberto Fabelo (b. 1950), widely
regarded as one of the foremost visual artists in the
Americas, was honored with the Knight's Cross of
the Order of Isabel la Católica, among the highest
cultural distinctions bestowed by the Spanish government.
Though the artist has much to be proud of, his acceptance
speech was characteristically humble: “Visual artists tend
to speak more with images than with words. If I had
to sum it up, it would be in one word: thanks.”
