Manuel Mendive
Mi Pensamiento

2000

About the Item

“Mi Pensamiento” is a painting by Cuban artist Manuel Mendive, created in 2000. This Acrylic on Canvas represents an encounter between divine creatures in an abstract yet natural environment. The colors and shapes in the painting suggest the inspiration Mendive took from African religions and iconography, in line with the style that most defined him during the years. This painting is part of the broad collection of artworks by Mendive, which focus is the representation of Orisha saints and other holy figures, in 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 45” x 45” x 2". Unframed painting measures 36” x 36” x 1.5”.
