Cabada Contemporary is proud to feature artists: Sabrina Cabada, Xenia Gray and David Ibata
DAVID IBATA - David Ibata is an American painter from the Washington DC metropolitan area. He received his education from the Corcoran College of Art & Design (BFA, 2008) followed by the New York Academy of Art (MFA, 2010). Since 2011,
My work is about the extraordinary in the ordinary. Fleeting moments that struggle to conform to coherent memories never to be relived. Split seconds that make up memories that make up a life. As the years pass each painting becomes a greater expression of introspection and a contemplation of the time lived.
SABRINA CABADA - Sabrina Cabada is a contemporary figurative artist based in Washington, DC whose work blends vintage aesthetics with modern sensibilities to explore themes of femininity, identity, and emotional expression. Raised by artists and gallery owners she was surrounded by abstract and unconventional home.
Cabada’s paintings are characterized by their vibrant color palettes, bold compositions, and a playful yet introspective portrayal of women. Influenced by her upbringing in a creative household during the 1960s and 1970s, she draws inspiration from pop culture, societal trends, and her own experiences. Her subjects often exude a blend of confidence, strength, beauty, and vulnerability, capturing the multifaceted nature of womanhood.
XENIA GRAY - Xenia Gray is a contemporary figurative artist who primarily works in mixed media, including oil, acrylic, and charcoal. Fascinated by unexpressed feelings and things left unsaid, Xenia explores emotions through paintings of the human body.
Xenia grew up in Siberia in the aftermath of the Soviet Union's collapse, and her sense of color and aesthetics is heavily influenced by the industrial environment of her hometown. Xenia enrolled in a local art school at nine and continued her art education in Saint Petersburg, where she achieved an MA in advertisement design from Saint Petersburg State University of Technology and Design. She moved to the United States in 2010.
"Art is a channel for me, through which I can express my emotions, be seen and understood by an observer."
