Marikit Santiago Hallowed Be Thy Name (collaboration with Maella Santiago, Santi Mateo Santiago and Sarita Santiago)

Archibald Prize 2023 finalist Marikit Santiago 'Hallowed Be Thy Name (collaboration with Maella Santiago, Santi Mateo Santiago and Sarita Santiago)'

Notice the sheen of real gold in this group portrait.

Marikit Santiago has painted herself with her three children wearing traditional Filipino embroidered clothing. They are surrounded by a golden arch and lush green plants. Marikit invites her children to draw and paint with her to create her artworks. Which parts of this portrait do you think the children did?

Each one of the children holds a different animal. Can you see other animals in the painting?
