Hanuman is one of the most popular Hindu gods. The credit of popularizing Hanuman goes largely to the famous 16th century Hindu poet, Tulsidas. In art, Hanuman is almost always portrayed as a deity with an ape's face and long tail, wearing a lion cloth and an 'angoccha' is thrown over his shoulder.

Seen as above, Hanuman is kneeling on one leg as if receiving benediction from his lord and master Rama. In this canvas, Hanuman is shown with five faces. He is mentioned in texts as the eleventh incarnation of Shiva, who is also believed to have five heads, hence the Panchmukha Hanuman. On his main face can be seen an expression of humility and devotion. Surrounding it are those of Varaha, Garuda, Ashva and Simha. These heads symbolize the various attributes or powers of Hanuman. In their hands they hold various weapons of offence and defence.

The technique of oil painting has been put to perfection while achieving the hairy body of the ape; the gentle expression on all the faces and the blue background made exciting by numerous shades and tones of blue.

Kan Laon Cover
Kan-Laon is the name of an ancient Visayan deity. During pre-Hispanic times, the deity was worshiped by the natives as their Supreme Ruler. Kan-Laon means "One Who Is the Ruler Of Time". Mt. Canlaon, situated on the island of Negros, is the largest active volcano in the Philippines and highest mountain in the Visayas region. The mountain is said to be where Laon made his presence to the people. In ancient times, native priests would climb up the mountain and do rituals every good harvest season or when there was a special ceremony. They would also offer gifts as a sign of respect. Kan-Laon has many counterparts all over the Philippine archipelago. Some of the more popular are Bathala of the Tagalogs, Gugurang of the Bicolanos, and Kabunian of the Ilokanos and Ifugaos.
