Another event that coincides with this is the Flores de Mayo, honoring the Virgin Mary by offering prayers and flowers. Both occasions happen in May when the flowers are in abundance.</p>\n<p>A Filipino through and through, Malang&rsquo;s oeuvre never fails to epitomize the country&rsquo;s rich culture and traditions. Painted in the month of the Flores de Mayo celebration, Malang&rsquo;s Flowers are in full bloom. His mastery of gouache and cool-toned palette created an assemblage of beguiling flowers, all in great finesse. The artist&rsquo;s haphazard but delicately layered brush strokes and eccentric splats of paint added a mysterious flair to his canvas, leaving his viewers in wonder and enchantment, alongside feeling a deep connection to the cultural significance of his art.
