About this artwork
Part of the Surrender series, this piece emerges from The Ecstasy of Surrender, an immersive project I began in 2013 that blends performance, installation, and image-making. The process starts with the body as a site of action—marked with paint and charcoal through gesture and tactile engagement—creating visceral reference imagery that later evolves into works on paper and canvas.
In this drawing, layered acrylic, charcoal, and tempera converge… to capture a moment of fierce emotional release. The figure’s strained expression and fractured marks convey inner turmoil without resolution, holding the tension of surrender as something raw and unresolved. Drips, scratches, and saturated blues push against the surface, creating a charged atmosphere that invites viewers to confront intensity, vulnerability, and the cathartic edge of letting go.

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.
