Pinoy Artist Shares His Gouache Artwork Featuring Street Food ‘Isaw & Betamax’
A Pinoy artist has left netizens astounded with a stunning gouache artwork that features beloved Filipino street foods, including the iconic isaw and Betamax.
The Philippines’ bustling streets come alive not just with the hustle and bustle of daily life, but also with the tempting smells and brilliant colors of a renowned culinary tradition – Filipino street cuisine.
These basic yet tasty products have become a staple of the country’s cuisine culture, drawing both locals and visitors with their appealing flavors and creative combinations.
Some of the most popular Filipino street foods are isaw (grilled chicken intestine), betamax (grilled chicken blood), fishball, kikiam, kwek-kwek, tempura, and many more.
Recently, Jaxson Madrista, a Facebook user, shared his exceptional gouache artwork featuring some of popular Filipino street foods. The post quickly gained traction online, eliciting various reactions from netizens.
Madrista’s meticulous attention to detail and intricate execution in his gouache painting has captured the admiration of the online community. His decision to experiment with the gouache medium arises from the fact that few artists opt for it in the realm of realistic painting.
“Nakikita ko kasi bihira lng gumagamit ng gouache sa mga realistic painting kaya sinubukan ko sa gouache medium,” shared Jaxson.
