Wall Painting: 'The Igorot'

When I paid the electric bill, I took some photos of these wall paintings yesterday. It is situated in front of our local bus terminal Victory Liner. I always have seen them every month. So before they will be worn out and be gone permanently, I might as well have the photos and shared them here. "Do you like wall paintings?" "Do you want to paint some arts on your wall?"

I love the UP Wall Art along Katipunan. I couldn't understand the abstract and the Fine Arts students seem to have symbolisms exclusively their own but I settle for the vivid interplay of colors. The huge murals at Bonifacio Global City are breathtaking. I can only glimpse at the paintings and I see the deepest longings of artists in their works. Your Igorot is one fine art. Brings to mind a sad story for I see a bemuscled being, perhaps a warrior, on a bent knee, head stooped, arms down in resignation. Hu hu. But the sinews and the stance are regal, the colors tender. Your Igorot speaks of heartache and longing and love. Glad you have preserved this mural in the net. Good move. Kudos.

@Shavkat Would you load the pictures here? Are the other murals related to this Igorot?

@eileenleyva I tried to attach the other Igorot paintings. They are all painted in series on the wall.

You had said it well. I think this Igorot painting had shown being defeated right after the tribal war. I still have other photos.

I don't know how to paint, too. I can draw using a pencil but not a professional one.

Yes, I do. Every time I pass through my Alma Mater Shchool in which someone famous painted the wall of the school. I will try to take photos once I will pass again.

That is a nice wall art. I like wall art especially if they are about nature. I love paintings too but I don't have to buy as my hubby has a lot of paintings which he painted. Not enough walls to hang them in our home.

@Shavkat He is not fond of selling them but if someone wants to buy, they can. Go, sell your art. I am the one who is managing the art of my better half. He is only interested in painting.

Yes those wall murals are really becoming popular around. When I pass to some government offices they would usually have it painted with some murals like that which depicts the function of their office. It is much better to look at when they are done like that. The usualy boring painted walls becomes a canvass of some sort which becomes pleasing to the eyes than those painted with one color or at times no paint at all.

@Shavkat I think that is one way to promote the culture of the place plus it gives life to the surrounding areas.

I also noticed that, too. In fact, I had seen some training materials of the local government agencies before. The hosts tend to let the participants were asked to do mural paintings.
