In Christian art, the fish is a symbol of water and baptism. It also represents saints who converted many to Christianity, in reference to Jesus' promise to Peter – I will make you fishers of men. Edgar Aguirre Gómez masterfully replicates the works found in Cuzco's colonial convents and churches with his elegant and reverent oil paintings. Titled Arcángel Gabriel pescador in Spanish.
