Mediums: watercolour, paper.
Location: The Xul Solar Museum (Buenos Aires, Argentina).

The subject of the unification of peoples, equality and mutual understanding between them always excited the artist. This idea finds its expression, first of all, in the flags of various countries adorning the mystical dragon, as well as in the symbols inherent in a particular culture, which the canvas is filled with. The dragon itself is also a strong and meaningful symbol. It symbolizes the union of earth, air and sky, the life-giving energy of fire, as well as human knowledge and wisdom. The decorative, bright and dynamic work causes a feeling of joyful excitement and a feeling of blazing life energy.
