Tagle’s series of canvasses bursts with vibrant color and energy projecting the richness of life’s bountiful blessings. Beauty is portrayed in its most pristine form, with the trees in its greenest state and seas abound with fishes and marine life and nature that is free from destruction.
Positivism is an eloquent picture of the strength in the unity of the Asian family. The parental bond is warmly depicted in the mother breastfeeding her child. Filial piety is strongly portrayed as the father and his children vend fish together to help provide for the family’s future.
