The Colors of StoBosa

The Colors of StoBoSa, officially designated as the StoBoSa Hillside Homes Artwork, is a community artwork designed by the Tam-awan Village group, and is a locally recognized tourist attraction in the town of La Trinidad, Benguet. The paintwork of multiple houses composes the single artwork.

The artwork was commissioned as part of the Rev-Bloom Urban Redevelopment Tourism Campaign a project conceptualized by the Department of Tourism - Cordillera Administrative Region.

Based on favela paintings of Brazil, the making of the Colors of Stobosa involved the painting of around 150-200 houses or an area of 18,000 square meters (190,000 sq ft). It is a combination of four designs made by the Tam-Awan Village artists. The designs, perceived as easy to make an aesthetically pleasing, were selected from a multitude of designs. The sunflower was chosen as a main motif of the artwork since the area used to be full of flowering plants. Rainbows also form part of the design.
