Petroglyph - Human Figures

Lala Eve Rivol

National Gallery of Art

The image displays rounded and elongated shapes with earthy tones such as red, black, and beige. The composition features abstract elements, including two central figures resembling simplified human forms with outstretched arms, outlined in bold lines. These figures are connected by linear patterns resembling roots or strings below them. Above the figures, a large irregular shape suggests a cloud, with two crossed lines hinting at lightning. Contrasting colors and the arrangement of forms suggest a sense of connection against an intricate backdrop.
