pintamanan

Pintamanan is a term derived from the Filipino language, specifically from the word "pintana" which means painting, and "tanan" meaning all or everything. It generally refers to an artistic creation that is a complete or comprehensive painting, often implying a finished work that encompasses a broad subject matter or a fully realized vision. The term can be used to describe a painting that is not a sketch or a study, but rather the final artwork intended for display or sale.

In some contexts, "pintamanan" might also be used colloquially to denote a collection of paintings or a gallery-like display of painted works. It emphasizes the totality and completeness of the artistic output. The specific meaning can be nuanced depending on the regional dialect or individual usage within the Philippines. It is not a formal art historical term but rather a descriptive one used in everyday conversation related to art. It highlights the artist's effort in bringing a painting to its final form, covering all aspects of the composition, color, and detail. The intention is to convey a sense of a finished and substantial painted piece.
