La Chola Poblete

b. 1989, Argentina

Untitled, 2024

Watercolor on paper

 

Part of the Quiero dormir cansada series, this work reflects Poblete’s exploration of exhaustion, escapism, and the disorienting space between wakefulness and sleep. The series title references a song by Mexican singer Emmanuel, evoking the artist’s experience of emotional longing and physical fatigue during its creation.

 

Using vivid colors and abstract forms, Poblete captures a fragmented, dreamlike world where sleep and dissociation offer temporary relief from the burdens of daily life. The piece conveys both a sense of disconnection and longing, representing the artist’s attempt to escape the constant mental activity and anxiety of wakefulness.
