Appears an artistic offer, ARGA joined the lateral wall. The artist has promoted the game of "mirrors", by means of the piece inspired by the river Arga.

By night, by means of the reflection of the crystal and the marble, the piece expands its limits. The mural is a vibrant element, with sensitive and changeable tonalities of light. The neutral space, with reflections, multiplies the painting in all his directions.
