The Pintados Series in Silver is a mixed-media artwork that draws inspiration from the traditional tattooed warriors of the Philippines, known as the Pintados. The piece showcases intricate tribal patterns in deep reds, blacks, and silver, evoking the rich cultural heritage of the Kalinga warriors, symbolizing bravery, strength, and status. The silver elements overlaying the patterns introduce a contemporary and abstract contrast, representing the fusion of tradition with modernity. The diagonal lines and geometric composition suggest movement and transformation, possibly evolving the identity of indigenous culture in a globalized world. This artwork captures the essence of heritage while embracing innovation, making it a powerful visual dialogue between the past and the present.
