Jaz (Franco Fasoli) began his career as a graffiti writer working the streets of Buenos Aires in the mid 1990's. After moving away from letter based graffiti, he began experimenting with techniques and scale in Argentine culture-inspired figurative pieces. By blending materials like asphaltic paint and petrol, Jaz was able to paint large murals that had the look of delicate watercolor paintings. Recently, his focus has been on abstract representations of football hooliganism with Mexcian "lucha libre" style wrestlers in animal masks and part-man/part-beast figures grappling in combat.

Monumento a José Manuel Estrada, designed by sculptor Héctor Rocha, was inaugurated in Plaza Lorea on November 9, 1947.
José Manuel Estrada (1842-1894) was an Argentine writer, lawyer and politician who defended Catholic thought, opposing the Secularism that characterized the government between the second half of the 19th century and the first decades of the 20th century.
Plaza Lorea is part of a three hectare open space comprising three adjoining plaza at the western end of Avenida de Mayo to the east of Palacio del Congreso de la Nación Argentina. The plaza is named after colonial-era businessman Pedro Lorea who purchased the 2 hectare lot in the Piety Market Hollow that later became the parkspace.

El Palacio del Congreso de la Nación Argentina (National Congress Building), located at the western end of Avida de Mayo, houses el Congreso de la Nación Argentina (Congress of the Argentine Nation). El Congreso de la Nación Argentina, the legislative branch of the Argentine national government, is bicameral, constituted by a 72-seat Senado (Senate) and a 257-seat Cámara de Diputados (Chamber of Deputies).
The Greco-Roman style neoclassical building was constructed between 1898 and 1906, but its aesthetic details were not completed until 1946. It was designed by Italian architect Vittorio Meano and completed by Argentine architect Julio Dormal. With its copper clad central dome rising 80 meters high, it was the tallest building in Argentina at the time of its completion. The quadriga atop the entrance is the work of sculptor Victor de Pol; local sculptor Lola Mora graced the interior halls and exterior alike with numerous allegorical bronzes. By 1974, the building proved to be too small and a modern annex, El Anexo "A" de la Cámara de Diputados de la Nación, was built next door.
