The blood moon

She graduated in Visual Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts of San Alejandro, specializing in Interior Design and Costume Design for Cuban Television. A member of the Union of Writers and Artists of Cuba (UNEAC) in the fields of Plastic Arts, Cinema, Radio and TV, and Literature, Mulet is also part of Loinus / Rejoinsnous, an international organization of poets.

Recognized as the "Painter of Havana," she creates imaginative worlds that resemble the city and its intricacies. Over her career, she has held more than forty solo exhibitions in Cuba, Mexico, Spain, Jamaica, Italy, Uruguay, the United States, and Colombia, and has participated in nearly sixty group shows both nationally and internationally.

Ileana Mulet has participated in the fairs of ARCO Madrid, the International Contemporary Art Fair in Marbella and Art Basel. In the year 2000 she made the preliminary project and founded the first School of Fine Arts in Arauca, Colombia, a project that she carried out in coordination with the Governor Don Gustavo Castellanos. Her works are in private collections in Spain, the United States, Mexico, Colombia, Sweden, Nigeria, Guatemala, Slovakia, Turkey, Argentina, Jamaica, Uruguay, to name a few; and in the collections of the Camagüey Museum, the Dance Museum of Havana, Colonial Art Museum and the City Museum, Old Havana, Cuba, Permanent Hall University of Houston, Texas, USA.

Mulet has demonstrated her intransigent position in the face of the hostility that the medium showed towards the language of landscape in its beginnings. She was nurtured by an open, spontaneous, expressionist language and charged with the historical theme of the old and colonial city. Today, she is considered the initiator of this current in Cuba and a guiding figure for the new generations dealing with the subject that seemed forgotten; landscape.
