Lita Cabellut is tiny. In a sea of people, you can easily miss her. Especially when she’s surrounded by art collectors eager to meet and speak with her. The popular Spanish artist is in Singapore to launch her latest portrait collection, The Echo of the Masters, as part of Singapore Opera Gallery’s 25th anniversary celebrations. Although barely 1.6m tall, Lita seems to fill a room with her presence when she speaks, holding people’s attention with large, limpid dark eyes and grand gestures.
In a 2014-2015 Artprice report, Lita was listed as the second bestselling living Spanish artist in the world. She has not been resting on her laurels, and is fully booked with work. One of them is a collection inspired by the late Spanish poet, Federico García Lorca. It will be held in 2021 at the Alhambra, a Unesco World Heritage site in Granada, Spain.
