On top of the jar cover or lid, there's a figurine that shows two human figures sailing using a small boat. This is aligned with the beliefs of early Filipinos that a who have died, his/her soul will travel or sail away. This is the concept of afterlife by the early Filipino settlers.

closer look at this work will reveal brush strokes executed with the ease of a virtuoso. The featured painting is considered a masterpiece for the subtlety of its encoded messages, which, in this case, has been described as national pride. In stark contrast to the increasing westernization of the urban capital Manila, this work is a celebration of the pristine, rural Philippine countryside. The scene is bathed in sunlight and features a country maiden. This work is a fine example of this National Artist’s favorite subject and setting. Amorsolo notes, “My conception of an ideal Filipina beauty is one with a rounded face, not of the oval type... The eyes should be exceptionally lively… The nose should be of the blunt form but firm and strongly marked… The ideal Filipino beauty should have a sensuous mouth…not…white-complexioned, nor of the dark brown color…but of the clear skin…which we often witness when we meet a blushing girl.” For Amorsolo, the Filipino beauty was an important symbol of national identity. The colors of the Philippine flag are evident in the blue kerchief, red skirt, and white blouse. The subject gazes directly at the viewer, holding a generous bundle of newly harvested rice, a hope-filled moment for the young Philippines.

It shows the different types of inhabitants in the Philippines in their different native costumes that show their social status and occupation during colonial times.

- Ukkil enhances our understanding of early history in the Philippines , particularly of early history in Sulu. From the Samal craft, specialized in pottery, boat construction, metal forging and stone carving.
- Ukkil discredits the notion of art as a special domain of creativity with the artist aside and against society. The creative process in the Sulu Archipelago is equal to the finished product; rather than through institutions, art is passed on by self-taught artisans.

Tarot cards series in late 1980s. The Tarot cards, which foretell the future, were used as a instrument to test the history of the Philippines, specifically the Japanese Occupation (1941-1945). The cards render events surrounding the central theme, and through the placement of the cards, and the reversing of certain cards, Fajardo expresses her desire to re-write the history of her country through telling the story.

In contrast to Japanese Occupation violence, some artists chose to showcase the provincial feel of some parts of the PH.

(Taken from verafiles.org)

As part of the UP Vargas Museum collection, such pieces had illustrated "idyllic, illustrative, and romantic," the conservative style of painting closely resembles the observed world.

These scenes are reminiscent of provincial life and are a statement against modernism.

A variety of artworks like this were made in the 1940's, just before the end of World War 2.

"Village Road" Oil on canvas, 16" x 12" unframed, 20.25" x 16.25" framed. Miguel Galvez Y Geronimo, Philippine, 1912-1989. Miguel Galvez was born in Paombong, Bulacan and studied under Teodoro Buenaventura. He established his own studio in 1950 and was the first Filipino to win a silver medal in the 1957 Southeast Asia Art Festival. He was a founder and leading influence in the Mabini Art Movement in the Philippines which attempted to hold the country's art influences to the more traditional forms of the culture and to resist the movement toward modernism. His paintings maybe classified into four periods: the classical period (1930s to 1948), in which he produced mainly genres and landscapes that were solidly conceived and structural elegant compositions done in rigorous impasto; his second period (1949 to 1952), encompasses his decorative phase (is meant his use of the classical skills toward the creation of landscapes, all correct in terms of technique and structure but no longer showing the vigor of his early period); third period (1953 to 1965) he went into experimental phase, he went into semi-abstraction, experimenting with neorealist expressionism and the cubism of Vicente Manansala. His fourth period began around 1967, when he returned to straight representationalism, the style he pursued until his death. Among his awards, he was honored as the country's Outstanding Landscape Painter in 1950 by the San Miguel Corporation, second prize in the oil painting category at the Art Association of the Philippines (AAP) competition in 1949, and second prize at the Philippine Tourist and Travel Association Art. The piece in our collection is dated 1940.
