Jimmy Vista’s ‘Sierra Madre’ transcends the traditional landscape genre to offer a complex narrative on the socio-economic realities of life in the Philippines. Featuring the longest mountain range in the country, the work goes beyond topographical representation to engage with themes of natural resource exploitation and indigenous rights. Through intricate brushwork, Vista constructs a dialogue between the enduring majesty of the Sierra Madre and the ever-encroaching modern world. |
