Description:
The painting is a tribute to Ilocano farmers and the gastronomic heritage of the Ilocanos. It is a beautiful representation of Filipino culinary heritage, which reflects the diversity and creativity of the people. It also conveys a sense of nostalgia and pride for the traditional way of cooking, using a clay pot (palayok) and an earthenware stove (kalan), which has been passed down from generation to generation.
