In this 1973 print, Gamberini transforms the dragon into a hybrid creature - part myth, part machinery. Rendered with heavy, sculptural lines and punctuated by screenprinted colour, the dragon appears grounded rather than airborne: bulky, armoured, and almost industrial. Stripped of its traditional menace or heroism, it becomes an ambiguous emblem of power, endurance, and latent energy, poised somewhere between ancient mythology and modern anxiety.
