| Provincial Life (acrylic on canvas, 20"x28") My inspiration for creating the artwork was a scene in the early morning when I visited a friend on the provincial outskirts of Baybay (my hometown). I came across a boy cleaning fish in a small creek. This scene fascinated me since I was accustomed to only seeing fish being cleaned in the kitchen or in the marketplace immediately after buying the fish. The scene was so “provincial” that he decided to make the artwork and entitled it “The Provincial Life”. This artwork took too long to complete. I believe I started painting this in 2012, but I only managed to complete this in 2019, which is seven years later. Initially, I signed the painting with "DEANSTERF" which is my tag. In 2024, I started signing my paintings with a stylized "Dean Flandez", so I also signed this one with it over my previous DEANSTERF sign. |
