Monumental Work is a commanding vertical artwork from the Pintados Collection, symbolizing bravery, resilience, and unwavering principles. Bold black lines, intricate textures, and rhythmic patterns create a visual story of heritage, strength, and endurance. The structured lines form a framework representing identity and history, while red, gold, and silver symbolize passion, courage, and wisdom.

Geometric divisions resemble fractures of time, each segment echoing the past. Elaborate gold and silver patterns within these spaces recall tribal markings, honouring the Pintados who were warriors of the Kalinga Tribe. Their tattoos, worn with pride, reflect a deep cultural legacy. The textured brushstrokes add depth, embodying struggles and triumphs that shape history.

This artwork is a testament to standing firm in one's values while embracing history’s complexities. It visually narrates cultural resilience, where past and present merge, forming a lasting monument of identity.
