Many paintings from this period feature figures on a stage-like platform, with titles often inspired by plays, literature and music.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Kuitca began to integrate the subjects of architecture and topography in his work, often exploring the confluence of communal and private spaces.

The floor plans of public institutions, such as those found in the “Tablada Suite” series, geographical maps, and genealogical charts begin to serve as important references during this period".

[citation needed] In 1992, Kuitca created his first works which incorporated the image of a painted bed, “often small and forlorn on the canvas.” [3] Afterwards, the artist used the motif of an apartment floor plan, middle-class and compact, with only one bathroom.

In his “Global Order” (2002) works, Kuitca combines a world map with architectural plans for interior spaces, “identifying borders and notions of ‘place’ as the changing products of human invention.”[citation needed] Kuitca is well known “for his use of maps – particularly his transcriptions of topography onto mattresses”.
