The term "Pintados" was used by Spanish colonizers in the 16th century to describe the tattooed indigenous people of the Visayas region. These tattoos, featuring nature-inspired motifs such as animals, plants, and geometric patterns, held deep cultural and spiritual significance. The nature-themed, geometric, and abstract patterns serve as an inspiration for this textile collection.
