A large and tall woman on a beige background, a small and thin man wearing a hat and a suit, standing on a rock in gray, black and white.
Giants women, repeatedly appear in Cuevas´ art work specially on sculpture and printmaking. Besides other topics such as women, erotism, fantastic worlds, mythological beings and characters in literature.
The relationship between the giantess and the man is marked by opposition: different sizes, postures and even their sexes.
