META Miami and Flash Talks cordially invite you to join us for
Flash Talks: PABLO CANO
About Flash Talks: Flash Talks is a curated event series that invites creative individuals to share what truly lies behind their work — their inspiration, creative process, and the personal or professional journey that shapes their craft.
Our goal is for the audience to experience more than just a compelling presentation; we want them to walk away with new insights, fresh ideas, and a deeper emotional and intellectual connection to each speaker’s artistic and human story. Whether it’s through visuals, storytelling, or live demonstrations, Flash Talks celebrates creativity in all its forms by shining a light on the “why” behind the work.
About Pablo Cano: (b. 1961, Havana). Since 1998, Pablo Cano has been turning his found-object sculptures into living characters for musical plays commissioned annually by the Museum of Contemporary Art in Miami. Three of the plays - ending with For Heaven’s Sake in 2003 - formed what Cano called a trilogy on the human condition. His work, which includes drawings and paintings in addition to sculpture, has been shown at the Columbus Museum of Art in Georgia, the Museum of Contemporary Art, the von Liebig Art Center, the New World School for the Arts in Florida, and the Private View Fine Art Gallery in New York. His work was included in group exhibitions such as The Miami Generation, at the Cuban Museum of Arts and Culture, Cuba-USA: The First Generation, which traveled to several venues in the United States, and at the Bass Museum in Miami Beach. Cano’s public art projects include pieces at Miami International Airport and the ILAC Center, Puerto Plata Church in Santo Domingo. His work is in the permanent collections of the Museum of Art in Fort Lauderdale, the Lowe Art Museum at the University of Miami, and the Miami-Dade Public Library, among others.
Cano has a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the Maryland Art Institute and a Master of Fine Arts from Queens College. (CINTAS for Visual Arts, 1983-84)
