Don Quixote<br />
Vertical strokes are breaking the wind’s spare time<br />
Spitting out unfamiliar thoughts<br />
Look<br />
Look<br />
They are giants,<br />
masters of the despicable night<br />
Bodies without heads<br />
nor sadness<br />
Defending without pay all that I defy<br />
Don’t you see that I almost die in the act of believing?<br />
My horse and my lance<br />
have made shadows of their curves<br />
Those who won<br />
cut with bites the wind<br />
And I<br />
only remain<br />
The silhouette of reason<br />

Biography<br />
The Spanish L<strong>ita</strong> C<strong>abellut</strong> was born on October 24th 1961 in Barcelona, where she grew up in a poor<br />
Gypsy-environment.<br />
Her work is closely intertwined with the memories of the old area of Barcelona, with its closeness to the docks,<br />
its La Bocquerai market, Las Ramblas and its Sant Antonie market, replete with pickpockets, street performers<br />
and of course, prostitutes. After 13 years of street and orphan life she was adopted. In this new period of her life<br />
she discovered the Prado museum. She became amorous with Goya, Velazquez, Ribera and Rembrandt.<br />
One of her preferred statement explaining her passion is: “I married very young, my first marriage was with the art”.<br />
I can endorse this is truly the case of L<strong>ita</strong>.<br />
She got her first exhibition on the age of 17 years old at the Town Hall of Masnou, Barcelona. At 19 she decided<br />
to change her native country Spain, for new challenges in The Netherlands, where she studied between<br />
1982-1984 at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam.<br />
Nowadays, L<strong>ita</strong> C<strong>abellut</strong> is considered as a painter with a unique pictorial language, using a contemporary<br />
variation on the fresco-technique and an immensely enjoyable, communicative and recognizable ‘C<strong>abellut</strong>-palette’.<br />
L<strong>ita</strong> C<strong>abellut</strong>’s ‘human-faced’ paintings are exposed all around the globe, in Seoul, New York, Dubai, Miami,<br />
Singapore, Hong Kong, Barcelona, London, Paris, Venice, Monaco and in more different cities of the<br />
European Union.<br />

What I am trying to do with my work<br />
is to widen and reaffirm all that we are.<br />
ISIDRO-INEZ, 2010<br />
Mixed Media - 33 cm high<br />
I try not to make a judgment<br />
of each person I paint,<br />
each with his or her own story.<br />
That is my way of loving<br />
and having hope in mankind.<br />
