EN: work of art; masterpiece
This isn't just any 'trabaho' or 'gawa.' Obra is a work with a capital W. It’s an artist's masterpiece, a writer's magnum opus, a director's film. It's the 'Obra Maestra' you studied in high school, like 'Noli Me Tángere.' When you call something an obra, you're giving it respect, acknowledging the skill and soul poured into it. It’s the difference between a drawing and a Spoliarium.
