NAME OF THE ARTIST   Datu Waway Linsahay Saway (Christian name:
 Rodelio) the Talaandig soil painting trailblazer in
Bukidnon.
LOCATION OF THE ARTIST   Talaandig community of Sungco, Lantapan
Bukidnon.
The Talaandig visual artists in Bukidnon have
brought to the world the woes of nature, providing
them with colorful soil through visually compelling
paintings. Their financial disadvantage has pursued
them to be resourceful with their surroundings.
They have realized soil can be used to express
their imagination. Helping Bukidnon to be known as
the home of the original and authentic soil paintings
and continuously promoting the province as the Soil
Painting Capital of the World.

The artwork of Waway Saway, which he entitled

Balagnanangen or Storyteller was inspired to
portray the Talaandig’s daily lives and their
aspirations for the environment. Illustrating an adult
ART DESCRIPTION/REVIEW 
or a wise member in their community to educate the

young ones in their tribe. Teaching and sharing
their beliefs, knowledge, and culture from
generation to generation.

The artist used a considerable range of ochre-

colored clays, pulverized, and mixed with water and
glue, to paint their masterpieces. Applying different
lines, shades, and colors of soil to bring out the
features and detail of the painting.

The soil on Canvas is a challenging medium that I

realized when I first tried it way back in Grade 8.
The soil on Canvass Paintings needs an extra
amount of preparation and patience. It needs a
different amount of water and different types of soil
to gather different shades of brown. It gives me a
sense of awareness and appreciation to your
surrounding as well as one’s culture as a
Bukidnons.
