Autorretrato con la giganta

Two naked people on a dark background, a woman lying down on a platform and a face of another person in ocher and light and dark brown.
The giantess figure for Cuevas was kind of a fantastic ideal distant from clasical art Western women. Cuevas saw her as a "New Eva".
This work shows a clasic scene in occidental art, a nude woman lying in front of a man. Despite the fact she is in front of the man (Cuevas), he doesn't pay attention to her nor does she to him, they both look outside the paper directly at the viewer.
