Wesley Cabral

Wesley Cabral is a multidisciplinary artist working across painting, drawing, performance, video, and installation, with the human body at the center of her practice.

Her process is rooted in excavation, layering, and deconstruction. These approaches shape her materials and her collaborations. Cabral’s figurative work explores vulnerability, tension, and intimacy, often placing the body in heightened or unconventional scenarios that reveal emotional and psychological complexity. Her ongoing project, The Ecstasy of Surrender, merges multiple media in experiential, collaborative ways. As a muralist, she engages social justice themes, including public works for organizations such as the Oakland LGBTQ Community Center. Her work has been exhibited at the de Young Museum. She holds a BFA from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design.
