Behind-the-scenes.. Parang sampung painting

Hindi pa rin tapos ang entry ko sa competition dito sa Rizal, wooooh ang dami pang kailangan gawin na details.

Habang binabasa ko ang mga bagay bagay tungkol kay Botong Francisco ay napag-alaman ko na ka birthday ko pala sya, feeling ko tuloy ay kailangan ko pang galingan , hehehe.

Si Botong po ang center ng painting ko bilang idolo ng Rizal sa larangan ng sining, di pa ako decided kung gagawin ko ba siyang colored or sephia na lang.??? Ingat po tayong lahat.

Whang Od Painting — International Day of Indigenous Peoples

Here are Whang Od’s portraits created by Abe for his personal collection: using his colorful surreal modern art style, another in sepia, another in close up portraiture.

On August 9, the world celebrates International Day of Indigenous Peoples. Whang Od, the last living mambabatok, belongs to the Butbut culture group from Buscalan, Kalinga.

May indigenous peoples of the Philippines and the world be included in the socio-economic system and enjoy the benefits of a new social contract where they will not be left behind, as advocated by the United Nations.
