With the exhibition 'Resilience Unveiled', Lita Cabellut invites us to look beyond the surface. Her monumental portraits reveal scars, memories, and the quiet strength that lies within vulnerability. Each canvas reveals the human soul as a layered landscape: cracked, marked by time, but unbroken. Here, beauty lies not in perfection, but in the lived and unfinished.
About the artist
Lita Cabellut (1961) was born in Sariñena, Spain, and grew up on the streets of Barcelona. At the age of thirteen, she was adopted by a wealthy family who introduced her to the world of art and literature. Her exceptional talent soon became apparent, after which she left for the Netherlands to study at the renowned Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. This personal journey - from street child to internationally celebrated artist - forms the core of her work, which resonates with themes such as identity, trauma, transformation, and resilience.
A unique visual language
Cabellut is known for her idiosyncratic technique, which combines classical painting, fresco, collage, and contemporary materials. Her portraits are created from layers of paint, plaster, pigment, and torn paper - as if they were shaped by time itself. These are no ordinary portraits, but manuscripts of memories: raw and refined at the same time, confrontational and comforting.
Between classic and modern
With her work, Cabellut blurs the boundaries between classic and contemporary, between figurative and abstract. Her paintings demand attention, a slower way of looking. They are not merely aesthetic objects, but mirrors that invite us to reflect on what we show and what we hide.
The power of imperfection
With Resilience Unveiled, Cabellut demonstrates not only her technical mastery, but above all her profound human insight. At a time when outward appearances often serve as a mask, she calls on us to embrace the cracks and discover our strength in them.
