Description

RAUL CABRAL

My time and place: MY WORLD
On the occasion of my solo exhibition at Centro Cultural de la Raza in San Diego, California, I was asked why I paint, or the reason for me being an artist. Here is my answer: I am a painter because this is the best version of me, I tried other fields, but this is the best version of me. Art makes me feel human, as if I had a reason for being here at this moment in time. I belong to this century and to thistime in which we are living.
I am here to look and take visual notes of my surroundings and express them in my painting.
Notes of everything that is happening to humankind in general. I also wish to express the best of humanity: love, friendship, honesty, and wisdom. I paint people because they are interesting: the color, the texture, their facial expressions.
I also enjoy abstract painting. I have used different techniques in my work: Acrylic, oil, pastel, watercolor, and even color pencils. I also used different acrylic textures.
My main theme is ordinary people but sometimes I paint famous people who have contributed in a good way to society. I have done political painting also because I think is especially important to make a statement of our time and place.

Raul Cabral’s Fascinations
The pictorial universe of Raúl Cabral, with his vibrant compositions and clean traces, make us think of the naïve art that has its origins in the 19th century and transcends with magnificent exponents, to this day.
His work is striking for its apparent simplicity. Portraits with well-defined contours bring great expressiveness to the extremely oblong faces that shape their particularly feminine imaginary. Some observers will find reminiscences of Modigliani’s aesthetics in this lengthening of features.
His images of women are representing different archetypes: they can be powerful or naïve females with an almost childlike air, others, full of mystery and secret stories to discover.
The margin for interpretation is given by the costumes, the ornaments, and the context that frames each of the characters, real or fictitious, that provoke a state of fascination in the artist.
Mind-bending for its color, as well as for the clarity and light they emit; unexpected for its beauty devoid of boasts; The collection presented recently at the Cultural Center of La Raza as an individual show, includes characters that have influenced the life and work of the artist throughout the decades.
The works of Raúl Cabral, as a whole, illustrate a world inhabited by beings with multicolored faces looking straight into our eyes inviting us to celebrate the color, the life and the magic of art.
