https://artefits.org/ephemeralart/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Carlos-Mercado.jpg19201080In the Caribbean there were several pre-Columbian cultures and the work "Untitled" is a reinterpretation of this rich heritage. These ethnic groups did not develop an alphabet, but their petroglyphs are still found in special places, particularly in ceremonial centers similar to the one recreated in this work. In excavations prior to the construction of the Dorado Beach Resort remains of these ancestors of the Puerto Ricans were found , so the artist Carlos Mercado appropriated their graphic language, but using contemporary resources, to pay homage to the first artists of Dorado.
