Photo by Jorge Andrada Luna .JEFFERSON CAWAON CABLOG, a native of Barlig is a young, humble and talented artist of our own. No one so far from our place has achieved such success in the field of art. His work are quite of extraordinary beauty, it is a revelation of our culture and tradition that was once told and lived by our ancestors. His love, dedication and interest to the "Ofok" or "Ob-ofok" which means the past oral stories from the great elders of Barlig are unfolded through his beautiful and unique paintings. I remember him as a young child playmate in Barlig, he later spent his secondary school in Baguio, briefly went to University of the Philippines Baguio Fine Arts, spent some of his time with his other talented friend James Gabito in Barlig. He lived in the perfect scenery and homely surrounding mountains and rice terraces of Barlig, dedicated in expressing his passion saving our diminishing culture. I describe his work as "Painting our culture", perhaps visualizing them in canvas. Now a matured artist of his own, a true inspiration for all of us. A talented painter, a friend. He calls himself "Yacamma" a proud native name of his great ancestor, an ancestry of Barlig. Jeff is currently living in Baguio conducting local and nationwide exhibits. His works are available to purchase through the Tam-awan website. Jeff, congratulations and all the best for your future work.

Jeff says,
"I have listened to the countless stories of Barlig, my hometown, as narrated by our village elders; and now I struggle to preserve these through my works and I know I will have to devote my entire life to this task.
I paint as my ancestors have built the rice terraces--- stone by stone, piece by piece. My ancestors painstakingly crafted a grand cultural monument. Now I wish to do the same through my art."
