rupestrian

Mendieta had completed five photo-etchings of the Rupestrian Sculptures before she died in 1985.

The landscape is characterized by the presence of such ancient and enthralling rupestrian ravine encircling the built-up area.

Traces of her "Rupestrian Sculptures" remain, as does a single leaf drawing, a fragile reminder of the artist, in a Havana museum.

Matera preserves a large and diverse collection of buildings related to the Christian faith, including a large number of rupestrian churches carved from the soft volcanic rock of the region.

There she created her "Rupestrian Sculptures" (1981), a series of haunting, semiabstract figures carved into the soft rock of caves in Jaruco Park, on the outskirts of Havana.

The Rupestrian Sculptures that Mendieta created were also influenced by the Tainan people, "native inhabitants of the pre-Hispanic Antilles," which Mendieta became fascinated by and studied.

The park contains prehistoric Rupestrian painting sites, including in the Cuevas de Pardis near the Segura River, and there is evidence of Iberian settlements dating from 2000 BCE.

Her sculptures were entitled Rupestrian Sculptures (1981) - the title refers to living among rocks - and the book of photographic etchings that Mendieta was creating to preserve these sculptures is a testament to the intertextuality of Mendieta's work.

Known as "la Città Sotterranea" (the Subterranean City), Matera is well known for its historical center called "Sassi", considered World Heritage Site by UNESCO since 1993, along with the Park of the Rupestrian Churches.

It is one of the world's most ancient cities, provided part of the set of Mel Gibson's "The Passion of the Christ" and its 'sassi' (settlements cut out of the stone) and rupestrian churches are inscribed on UNESCO's World heritage List.
