LITA CABELLUT (Sariñena, Huesca, 1961). Untitled, 2013. Mixed media on cardboard, with crackle texture and effect close to fresco. Signed and dated on the back. Measurements: 78 × 78 cm; 116 × 116 cm. with frame. This work stands out for the characteristic pictorial texture of Lita Cabellut, close to the fresco effect and marked by crackle, glazes and transparencies that give the surface an intense material-visual presence. On this pictorial skin, the artist builds a face fragmented by an extreme framing, where the gaze, partially veiled, concentrates all the emotional tension of the image. Cabellut turns the portrait into a space of psychological revelation. The skin, the eye and the diagonal strip not only describe a face, but an identity suspended between beauty, concealment and fragility. The pink, ochre, greenish and bluish hues reinforce this ambiguity, combining visual sensuality and inner tearing. Lita Cabellut, trained at the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in Amsterdam, has developed an internationally recognized body of work focused on portraiture, identity and the human condition. Her language combines references to the old masters with a contemporary expressiveness of great impact, through crackle surfaces, intense gestures and emotionally charged figures. She has exhibited in cities such as New York, Paris, London, Dubai, Hong Kong and Seoul, and is one of the most sought-after living Spanish artists in the current market.
