pintura
Canvas with colors
Pintura is the Spanish and Portuguese word for painting—both the act and the resulting artwork.
In English contexts, it typically appears in art discussions, restaurant names, or references to Latin American and Iberian culture: The gallery featured pinturas from colonial Mexico.
The word shares its Latin root with English "picture."
