Roberto Fabelo’s “No Somos Animales” asserts the collapse of the boundary between humanity and its animalistic undercurrents through a commanding hybrid figure that embodies spiritual emptying and the denaturalization of the human condition. Executed with baroque figuration and grotesque caricature, the vertical oil-on-canvas portrait fuses human consciousness with bestial traits—piercing eyes, distorted snout, raw musculature—exposing how primal instincts of opportunism, betrayal, and stupidity overtake civilized behavior. Drawn directly from the artist’s acute observations of everyday Cuban urban reality, the creature functions as both mirror and indictment, serving as a modern instructive fable that confronts viewers with the contaminative animality eroding collective life. The title stands not as plea but as defiant assertion: even when stripped of language, freedom, and identity, the human spirit refuses the beastly condition forced upon it, issuing an unequivocal call for the correction of these moral horrors.
