series Thinking Central Park, his most recent work. González is a renowned

multidiscipline artist and photographer whose work can be found in the permanent

collections of Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía and the Museum of

Contemporary Photography of Chicago, among others.

Lita Cabellut (Sariñena, 1961), considered the contemporary Spanish artist most

valued in the world, is another of Art Marbella’s strong artistic proposals. Cabellut’s

work is defined by the strength of her photorealistic portraits and her work on large

scale canvasses using her own contemporary variation of the fresco technique.

The fair invited photographer María Carrión to exhibit her work, characterized by her

search and play with ligh, in a space dedicated to Sotogrande.

For the first time in 2017, Starlite will be a Sponsor of Art Marbella and will have a

space where it will exhibit the work of Emilio Machado, known as “the painter of

light” and considered the most important painter from the Canary Islands this century.
