Original artwork description:

Work inspired by a macroschematic cave painting found in the Barranc de L'infern (Vall de L'Aguar - Alicante). Action painting with music by John Frusciante.

The original figure has a strange shape very different from other paintings from the same period and context. In the pictorial work, a free interpretation of said figure is made, taking advantage of its great expressive charge.

The author plays with the meaning of this representation, turning it into a kind of underdeveloped hominid that begins to think about things. The element that appears on the right side of the work symbolizes a tool and also the domain of agriculture, two key aspects in human evolution but that still seem far away for this character.
A kind of watchful eye of evolution (in the manner of 2001: A Space Odyssey) appears in the upper left.

Somehow the work is a kind of allegory about human evolution and its meaning.


Macroschematic art is only found in the northern area of ​​the province of Alicante, it was created by the first Neolithic groups that arrived in these lands in the middle of the 6th millennium BC, coming from the Near East. Through the Mediterranean, these groups sailed in canoes, always close to the coast, carrying with them wheat and barley seeds, sheep and goats.

The chosen places are rock shelters, well visible and illuminated by the sun. These areas were not habitats but "sanctuaries" to which the surrounding populations went for religious celebrations, rites of passage, alliances...
