C.V.
Current work The
Passion: Stations of the Cross. The second Station in the series,
'The Betrayal', has already been exhibited as a finalist at the 2007 Blake
Prize for Religious Art, chosen from over 600 entries and then short listed
to tour Australia.
Within a year of launching her series of paintings, ‘White Rope’
(2005), Cabello achieved award winning international status. Winning an
award at the Fifth Annual International Biennial
of Contemporary Art in Florence, Italy (painting)
and Artoteque, London (painting).
Cabello also held exhibitions in Sydney, Barcelona and Florence in 2006.
Cabello was featured in the Australian Institute of Export magazine "Dynamic
Export": a feature article covering her amazing achievements in art
and business (Issue Feb 06).
Following this article, she was invited to participate in the Australian
Trade Commission (Austrade) Visual artists CD. The CD will be promoted
to appropriate galleries overseas through Austrade representatives in
58 countries.
Her new series ‘Stations’ has transpired from an osmosis between
the rapid movement of Abstract Expressionism and the Old Masters’
historical painting techniques from the 13th to 19th Centuries.
The paintings represent three types of skin in one composition. White,
Olive/tan, & black. Each model is painted in a different traditional
Baroque & Rococo technique in order to utilise the best technique
for each model’s skin. Eg white flesh will be painted using the Van
Dyck & Rubens method. Olive/tan flesh Rembrandt & Goya method.
Black flesh, Caravaggio & Velázquez.
Models
needed
I'm always on the lookout for new models. If you like
my work, have an excellent physique and are interested in working with
me, I would like to hear from you.
My studio is located in Ultimo, Sydney.
