The artwork, titled “Maroya (Esculturas Rupestres)”, was created by Ana Mendieta in 1981. It falls within the Feminist Art movement and is categorized under the genre of performance art.
The artwork features an etched impression on a rugged rock surface, which captures a somewhat abstract and organic form. The distinct outlines seem to depict a human figure, rendered in a rudimentary yet expressive manner, evoking an ancient, almost primal aesthetic. The rough textures and natural elements of the rock surface interact with the carved shapes, giving the piece an authentic and visceral presence. The monochromatic scheme enhances the raw and unembellished quality of the sculpture, inviting viewers to reflect on the primal connections between humanity and nature.
