About the Item
Dragona (Dragoness), bronze sculpture by Marcelo Martin Burgos, 13 cm × 47 cm × 4 cm (5.1 in × 18.5 in × 1.6 in). Original artwork: limited edition of 8 + 4 artist’s proofs. Each sculpture comes with a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
As the title indicates, the sculpture portrays a dragoness, incorporating characteristic features of the mythical creature—such as a fire-breathing mouth and clawed feet. The absence of wings suggests an influence from Asian dragon iconography, where dragons are often depicted as wingless. The artwork represents a fantastical, imagined being.
Marcelo Burgos creative universe draws heavily from childhood: dreams and nightmares filled with fantastical beasts, demons, monsters, and dragons serve as a central source of inspiration. His The Monsters series reflects influences ranging from children's drawings, cartoons, and manga to African and Toltec sculpture. Rather than appearing threatening, these golden-surfaced creatures resemble statues of protective deities—offering both reassurance and wonder.
His sculptures are cast in bronze, a medium he values for its noble character, adaptability, and especially for its polished surface, which becomes mirror-like. This reflective quality allows the viewer to become part of the piece, transforming each sculpture into a vivid reminder of childhood: “My aim is to conjure images and feelings that can remind us of the most creative, amazing and frightening years of our lives: the ‘golden’ age of childhood.”

Marcelo Martin Burgos
Marcelo Martin Burgos lives and works between Buenos Aires and Madrid. The artist’s golden bronze sculptures are anchored in the childhood universe he is fascinated about. Monsters, dragons, robots and other creatures populating childish imagination are the main subjects of his sculpture activity, also fed by the cinematic production he practices in parallel. Bronze, that he appreciates for its versatility and golden finish, allows him to create mirror-like sculptures that reflect the childhood images and memories of those who look at them. “My work is deeply connected to childhood and gold is a way to exalting children creativity. Childhood memories are golden.’’
