About the Item
“Ofrendas” is a painting by Cuban artist Manuel Mendive, created in 2001. This Acrylic on Canvas represents an encounter between divine creatures. The surrounding environment reflects the same abstract descriptive style, but reminds us about the South American environment that was home to the painter, and from which Mendive took inspiration.
This painting is part of the broad collection of artworks by Mendive, which focus is the representation of Orisha saints and other holy figures for the Yoruba religion of West Africa.
Mendive is is an Afro-Cuban painter, sculptor, and performance artist. His colorful, evocative paintings pay tribute to the historic and religious art forms of Africa and Cuba. Through the fusion of European painting techniques and African imagery, Mendive explores the socio-cultural impacts of the African diaspora and the way in which the African culture arrived in Latin America as a result of the slave trade.
The painting is framed, to an overall size of 53” x 41” x 3". Unframed painting measures 46” x 34” x 1.5”.

Manuel Mendive
Manuel Mendive is an eminent Afro-Cuban painter, sculptor, and performance artist. His colorful, evocative paintings and carvings—as well as his dynamic performance and body art—pay tribute to Africa and Cuba's historical and religious art forms. Altars, masks, and dance associated with Santería, Voodoo, and Yoruba religions have inspired his work, which brings a contemporary insight into the history of slavery and African mythologies as they transformed the Caribbean Islands. Born on December 15, 1944, in Havana, Cuba, Mendive studied at the San Alejandro Academy of Plastic Arts in Havana. In the 1970s, the artist gained recognition for his unique combination of European and African styles in promoting Afro-Cuban culture. His works are in the collections of the National Museum of Fine Arts in Havana, the Museum of Modern Art in Paris, and the Ethnographic Museum of Budapest, among others. The artist lives and works in San Jose de la Lagas, Cuba.
