    Strong and vibrant colors dominate Abads paintings: yellow, orange, green, purple, red. But it is in how she combines colors that show her strength as an artist.

    Subsequently, question is, is Pacita Abad a National Artist? Pacita Abad (October 5, 1946 – December 7, 2004) was an Ivatan and Filipino visual artist. She was born in Basco, Batanes, a small island in the northernmost part of the Philippines, between Luzon and Taiwan. Abads work is now in public, corporate and private art collections in over 70 countries.

    Also question is, what is trapunto painting?

    Generally, trapunto (Italian for quilted or embroidered - Latin, trans: through pungere, to prick, pierce) is a quilt with a raised surface, stuffed with cotton defined with running stitches. Pacita began her trapunto process by painting in acrylic or oil on a piece of unstretched canvas.
