This painting from 2008, executed in mixed technique, showcases Lita Cabellut’s characteristic approach to the human portrait. The face seems to appear and disappear at the same time within powerful layers of paint, scrape marks, and contrasting color fields. Dark tones are cut through by accents of red and light, creating an intense tension between vulnerability and strength.

The rough skin of the painting, with visible traces of alteration and wear, lends the work a nearly sculptural presence. Cabellut uses matter not only to shape form but also to make emotion and inner struggle tangible. The portrait is not an individual likeness, but a universal image of humanity, memory, and transience.

The work reflects Cabellut’s interest in identity and emotional depth and belongs to a period in which her expressive, layered style has fully ripened.
