A powerful bronze sculpture by Cuban artist Manuel Mendive, *Chivo* draws on the rich visual language of Afro-Cuban spiritual traditions to bring forth the iconic figure of the goat, a sacred animal in Yoruba and Santería practices. Mendive's masterful use of bronze lends the work a timeless, ceremonial presence, its metallic surface evoking both earthly weight and otherworldly energy. The piece reflects the artist's lifelong dedication to honoring the cosmology and mythology of his ancestors through deeply expressive, spiritually charged forms.
