EDITORIAL ILLUSTRATION ( Watercolor )
Santiago de León de Caracas
This was the first image I did about the venezuelan clashes between the young squires and security forces ( Spring of 2017). I wanted to use the simbol of Caracas to represent the bravery of young rebells of this city.
Meaning:
The official name of the city founded in 1567 was Santiago de León de Caracas
(Saint James of León of Caracas).
The lion is a common charge in heraldry. It traditionally symbolises courage, nobility, royalty, strength, stateliness and valour, because historically it has been regarded as the "king of beasts". Lion refers also to a Judeo-Christian symbolism. The scallop is the symbol of St. James and the cross is the cross of the (Spanish) Order of Santiago.
