“Kabataan”
Gouache, Acrylic, Colored Pencils
2021
As Filipinos, we should never forget our pre-colonial history, and I wanted to show that through a children lens. “Kabataan” is a gouache painting that goes with the theme of the 500th anniversary since the Battle of Mactan showing the “passing of the torch” of our ancestors to the youth of today.
