Taking influence from the comic strips he savored as a child, Bastinuod expresses his views on intrapersonal to socio-political subjects through forms of satirical content. Charmed by the painstakingly detailed illustrations that skim the pages of these graphic narratives, the artist prints onto his very own work, the same visual effectivity that ably speaks to a wider audience.
In an attempt to merge the contemporary with the historical, Bastinuod depicts a mural featuring various Native-Filipino art forms, foregrounded by a street artist rewarding himself with a cold, bottle of beer.
