Lita Cabellut (1961, Spain) is a broad-focused artist who lives and works in The Hague. Her completed character as an artist in combination with her torrential force and extraordinary capacity, drives her artistic activities in multiple disciplines. Beyond her monumental paintings, her work includes an extraordinary touch for linguistics, sculptures, photography, installations, video and performance. She has also expanded to Opera scenography in the creation of stage, custom and video design. It is Lita Cabellut’s central tenant of a guiding poetic sense that stirs all these multidisciplinary tools.
Lita Cabellut is recognized as the third most valued Spanish artist and her works have been exhibited in numerous museums around the world, including, amongst many other places: Seoul Arts Center, Korea; Contemporary Art Museum, Sicily, Italy; CSMVS and Mumbai, India. Her work is included in the permanent collections of several museums such as Museo Goya IberCaja, Zaragoza Spain; Museo de Arte Contemporánea, Sicilia, Italy; The Fendi Collection, Italy; Museu Europeu d’Art Modern, Vila Casas Foundation, Spain; Théâtre Mogador, France; Copelouzos, Greece; The RAK Art Foundation, Barein; The Joop & Janine van de Ende Foundation and The Paul van Rensch Foundation, The Netherlands.
Lita Cabellut grew up as a street child in Barcelona until she was adopted at the age of twelve. During this time, she became acquainted with the Spanish Masters at the Prado Museum, after which she immediately devoted herself to the world of art. Lita Cabellut had her first exhibition at the age of 17 and moved to The Netherlands when she was 19 years old, where she studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam.
Over the years, Cabellut has developed a unique technique characterized by large-scale canvases that combine traditional fresco techniques and modern media applications. The central theme of the human and the societal messages that Lita Cabellut communicates in her work is primarily expressed through her defining monumental portraits.

À propos
Kunstenaar van het jaar 2021
Uit acht finalisten is Lita Cabellut als Kunstenaar van het jaar 2021 gekozen. Stichting Kunstweek organiseert sinds 2003 jaarlijks de verkiezing Kunstenaar van het jaar. Hoe wordt in Nederland gedacht over beeldende kunst en beeldend kunstenaars? Welke beeldend kunstenaars worden het meest gewaardeerd?
De verkiezing Kunstenaar van het jaar is de oudste en verreweg grootste verkiezing op het terrein van kunst in Nederland. Door de gefaseerde opzet met vier verkiezingsrondes, waarbij gedurende de looptijd van de verkiezing zowel een omvangrijk panel van deskundigen als het publiek hun stemmen uitbrengen, biedt de uitslag een goed beeld van de mate waarin Nederlandse kunst en kunstenaars in brede kring gewaardeerd worden. In het kader van de verkiezing zijn dit jaar weer vele duizenden stemmen uitgebracht.

Conference-colloquium
Lita Cabellut gave the conference-colloquium “The corridors that transformed my life in color” on October 5th, 2019 at the Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid. Her participation was on the occasion of the Bicentennial of the Museum within the commemorative program, which she was part of. It was at the Museo del Prado where at the age of 13 and in front of the masters, she promised herself that she would fulfill her dream of becoming an artist. At this conference, Lita Cabellut performed the "deconstruction" of one of her pieces, a pinnacle of the creative process in which she is now immersed.

Jurylid Project Rembrandt NTR
Lita Cabellut werd geboren in Huesca (omgeving Barcelona), waar ze op straat leefde tot ze op 12-jarige leeftijd werd geadopteerd door een vooraanstaande familie. Ze werd meegenomen naar musea als het Prado in Madrid, waar ze in aanraking kwam met de oude meesters. De jonge Cabellut raakte geïnspireerd door schilderijen van Velázquez, Goya en Frans Hals en de vele fresco’s in haar geboortestad, en stortte zich op het maken van kunst. Op 17-jarige leeftijd had Cabellut al haar eerste tentoonstelling in het stadhuis van Masnou, Barçelona. Twee jaar later – op 19-jarige leeftijd – verliet ze Spanje om te gaan studeren aan de Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Nederland, waar ze nog steeds woont en werkt. Het werk van Cabellut wordt over de hele wereld geëxposeerd. Zij zal als jurylid van Project Rembrandt de deelnemers beoordelen op oorspronkelijkheid en het ontwikkelen van een eigen signatuur in de stijl van de oude meesters.
