Fabelo's work is a nexus of many social, political, anthropological and historical influences
resulting in a unique beauty, oddity, shock, and almost a metaphysical sense of the original. He is commonly introspective in his works, reflecting the beauty of dereliction and the consciousness of a youthful populace mixed from Spanish and African slave ancestry.

Eduardo Roca Salazar (Choco) (short for Chocolate, his nickname) was born in Santiago de Cuba in 1949. He studied at the Escuela de Instructores de Arte and the Escuela Nacional de Arte and he pursued postgraduate studies at the Facultad de Artes y Letras of the Universidad de La Habana.

He is the master of collagraphy and his use of color is intense, with traditional elements done in a modern style. His work seems to be structured by three distinct elements: strong texture, strange atmospheres and a personal interlacing of spatial abstraction with silhouettes. His subjects sometimes are non-defined which open up a range of potential interpretations. As famed art critic Michael Barnett wrote, "His work contributes to our own understanding of ourselves as better human beings…with it we discover another path to the realm of the fantastic which we all aspire to reach - where art always leads us, this time at the hand of the great Choco."

His work can be found in Museo de Bellas Artes, La Habana; African Museum, Chicago; Museo de la Estampa, Mexico City; Fundación Miró, Palma de Mallorca, Spain; Ludwing Foundation, Germany; and Casa de las Américas, La Habana among others.
