Aside from being dramatic metaphors of “the human condition,” they are also visual correlatives of inner moods and psychological weathers.” Alice G. Guillermo, Image to Meaning: Essays on Philippine Art, Ateneo de Manila University Press, Philippines, 2001, p.209 The work is in good condition overall, as is the board which is free from scuffs and abrasion. There are indications of minor wear and handling on the margins, along with associated minor paint losses on the edges of the board. Any surface inconsistencies appear to be inherent to the artist's working methods. Examination under ultraviolet light indicates no evidence of retouching. Framed.
