Pakiko & Friends for Xavier Art Fest 2024

This series of paintings center around Keziah's floral characters collectively called Kiko, short for Pakiko,  a play on the Filipino phrase "Pake ko" (I don't care). Kiko's kind are very cheeky and they do as they please. Keziah wanted to showcase a few paintings to introduce Kiko and in their playful nature. These works were consigned under Vinyl on Vinyl for Xavier Art Fest in January 2024.

'Gara lang' is a Bisaya phrase one says to someone when you sarcastically goad them on to continue their silly antics. In the artwork's context, Kiko is encouraged to be their mischievous selves and not mind what others think of them.
