ABOUT THE WORK

Filipina women became an iconic subject of the late artist Mauro “Malang'' Santos as his works gradually evolved into a mature abstract figurative art style. Having a penchant for portraying the travails of living in a big city, a female market vendor clothed in traditional garments once again makes her appearance in this Malang 1998 piece titled Woman. As a notable cartoonist, the paintings of Malang emanate a glorified version of his cartoonwork. He never stopped experimenting with new media, colors, and methods, as seen in his collection of work over the ages. In 2008, a major oneman show at the Art Center of SM Megamall celebrated his 80 years of artistry. (P.I.R.)
