My Brother's work and his Love for the Natives of the Philippines 1 / myLot

His passion runs deep within him. He doesnt care of hostilities he might face when he sought native peole and take a glimpse of their old practices.

I am very proud of his work because it is something that's a hard earned piece of art. It is something he searched in the most remote places here in the Philippines. These is one of his paintings exhibited in A Space.

I'm not sure if the man in the painting is a T'boli or a manobo

@geizshan So somewhere in Mindanao. Please send my praises to your brother. The colour combination is fantastic. Did he study art? Or was he self learned?

@flapiz he studied art for a while. They said it's what he does since he was in grade school. My other brother does tattoos. They all do it. Painting and tattoos, but with painting our eldest does it best.
