Yuki

2025
Acrylic on canvas | 61″ x 48″
From the Femininity and Race Series

Yuki by contemporary artist Mar Yebra is a visually poetic and conceptually layered painting that explores identity, femininity, and race through a soft, ethereal lens. Part of the acclaimed Femininity and Race series, this acrylic on canvas presents a graceful, ghostlike figure moving across a luminous field—her shadow trailing like an echo of inner self.

Blending figurative painting with abstract minimalism, Yebra creates a powerful visual meditation on the fluidity of identity. The composition plays with transparency, light, and movement, reflecting how womanhood and cultural identity are constantly shifting and multi-dimensional. Yuki speaks to the quiet strength of those who navigate layered identities with elegance and presence.

With its serene palette, elegant silhouette, and conceptual depth, Yuki resonates within the contemporary art landscape as a powerful statement on racial identity, gender expression, and the art of self-definition. The figure appears both present and transcendent—reminding viewers of the subtle, often unseen power that shapes who we are.

An important work for collectors and curators interested in feminist art, figurative abstraction, and BIPOC contemporary artists, Yuki holds space for nuanced conversations around visibility, heritage, and the emotional architecture of identity.
