Artworks for a Cargo Forwarding Company

Husband and wife Cyril Maza (CSMaza) and Lorna Maza (LLDM) completed two commissioned paintings that feature men delivering cargo boxes in remote areas in the Philippines.  The paintings were commissioned by Regent Forex, a cargo forwarding company with an office in Houston, Texas.

The paintings were both made using acrylic paints, on 24" X 20" canvas panels.  The titles of the paintings were chosen by the client, and are Forex1 and Forex2.

Forex1 shows a man sitting on the back of a carabao while signing a delivery receipt.  With him are two Forex agents, one in front of him and the other one behind him.  The agent in front of him is shown with right arm stretched out, reaching out for the signed document.  The other agent is shown holding the boxes that are placed on top of a bamboo sledge.  The sledge is towed by the carabao.  The background depicts a scene typical to farms in the Philippines, with trees, mountains, rice fields, and a nipa hut.

Forex 2 shows a Forex agent standing on the top of a small boat that is typical to rural villages in the Philippines.  With him are two boatmen who are trying to maneuver the boat as they start their journey to the other side of the river.  They are on their way to deliver the boxes.
