This totemic anthropomorphic couple in wood from Iroko or African teak, create in our forest a place to celebrate the main sources of life: water and women. The Cuban, Cardenas (1927-2001), developed a formal personnel language that distinguishes the simplification of volume, the influence of surrealism and that of African art.
