The work draws on myth, memory, and identity—hallmarks of De Rivera’s visionary style. Executed in 2000, this large-format mixed-media painting exemplifies the artist’s refined control of texture and form. Accompanied by original gallery documentation, it stands as a powerful representation of Southeast Asian modernism and its global reach.
