The animals themselves are organized in groups of three by season and compass direction. The Chinese calendar is based on a 60-year cycle and is characterized by a link between earthly branches, zodiac symbols, celestial stems and the five elements. According to legend, this system, which is supposed to govern life on Earth and determine destiny, was first introduced by Emperor Huangdi (also known as the Yellow Emperor) in 2637 BC. This date is considered by many to be the beginning of the Chinese calendar, which has influenced almost all East Asian cultures. 2016 was the year of the monkey, an animal highly honored in all East Asian countries and with a central role in literature and art.

"VILLASIERRA" MARIO VILLARROEL (Venezuela, 1970). "Fragile-yellow series", 2021. Resin. Signed on the metal base. Measurements: 70 x 24 x 28 cm. About this work the author commented "2020 was the year in which we broke, life changed us. This new series of works, "Fragile" show the scars that the pandemic has left on us. But at the same time they reflect how we have been able to put ourselves back together, to transform ourselves and become better human beings. These violins are different, stronger, better and each one of them is a unique piece of art" . Villasierra is the archetypal case of a self-taught artist who explored other fields before devoting himself to art full time. A lawyer by training, he also ventured into the world of motorcycles, making and customizing them, which became a new field of work where he explored his creativity and fostered his interest in mechanisms beyond their primary function. His artistic production began in the 1990s and since then he has produced a considerable body of work. Some of it demonstrates his interest in recycling, in giving a second chance and function to discarded objects. With this idea in mind, she goes on excursions to antique markets and accumulates an unimaginable treasure trove. From this approach and his love for music, musical instruments found a place in his work. A good example is one of his most acclaimed series, The Second Life, which he developed mainly between 2016-2018. Among the instruments used in this series are violins. Villasierra explained that the first was inspired by a political act of resistance in his native country. In 2017, a young violinist, Wuilly Arteaga, confronted the Venezuelan army, alone with his violin, during a revolt. This act of bravery moved Villasierra, who took an old violin and painted it in the colors of the flag as a tribute to the musician's bravery and as a wake-up call to what was happening in his country. To create these works he visits the music departments of public art schools and takes the discarded violins in exchange for new ones that he buys and donates to the schools. Thus, the old ones become part of his work, while the new ones he replaces in the hands of the children.
