In this work we find 13 human figures as well as 2 animals and some elements such as a vase, flowers, tree trunks, a flute and a copper container with water that is used as an offering to the Indian gods. In the first of the paintings that make up this triptych we find Shiva, the god of death, asleep on a sacred tree; Krishna, the god of love and maintainer of the universe, lying on Shiva; Brahma, the creator God, transformed into a canine and with the gesture of a pantocrator; Ganesh, the elephant God, son of Shiva, and Zeus, father of all the Greek gods with the skull of an eagle on the back of his hand. In the central panel we find Pachamama or mother earth from Inca mythology, who is naked stirring the fire with a sad face; Hera, the wife of Zeus and goddess of the earth, who is screaming; Zarathustra, the ancient Iranian prophet with a book in his hand, telling something in Hera's ear; Jesus Christ in the centre, with bread and wine in his hand and wearing a white tunic, and Buddha reclining on one of his legs, with his eyes closed and a meditative gesture. The third panel depicts the Devil in the form of a skeleton with a demon mask on his head; the Shinto Goddess Kami, in pearl grey; and finally a figure representing the many gods and goddesses of Africa. They are all sitting by the fire once they have finished eating, in the middle of the field, wrapped in the silence of the night. Each God belongs to a different world, but they all share the same fire, perhaps a symbol of the faith of each of the peoples who believe in them.
