“Mindanao steel life,” one of his most famous works, is a 101.5 cm x 80 cm mixed media art painting depicting
images from his perception of what has been happening in his home province. Durian and mangosteen fruits
become hand grenades, in this painting, and an attack helicopter transforms into a dragonfly, while a water
buffalo morphs into a tank. This work is an example of how Tawasil makes clever use of his imagination to
enable even mundane things to reflect the violent imagery of war.
