Lita Cabellut, Marian II, 2026, mixed media on canvas, 215 x 200 x 3 cm
‘Layered Identities’ is a solo exhibition by Spanish artist Lita Cabellut, on view from 22 May to 7 June 2026. The exhibition brings together a new series of monumental portraits that explore identity as a shifting, layered construct within an increasingly interconnected world.
‘Layered Identities’ reflects on how personal identity is shaped by culture, history, and environment. In this new series—devoted exclusively to female subjects — Cabellut examines the relationship between the inner self and the image we present to the world. The works invite viewers to look beyond the surface and consider identity not as fixed, but as an evolving accumulation of experiences, histories, and emotional traces.
Each painting unfolds like a visual excavation, animated by sweeping gestures and vivid bursts of colour. Marian II (2026) exemplifies Cabellut’s signature fusion of classical portraiture with gestural abstraction and material experimentation. A female face emerges from layered marks in pigments ranging from deep reds to muted beige, evoking the weathered beauty of a Renaissance fresco. The subject’s poised gaze becomes a point of entry, drawing viewers into the shifting boundary between figuration and abstraction.
