Arvin has been recently exploring a minimalist approach in painting…trying to explore and learn further by being more aware through the process of creating…hoping to arrive and discover uncharted grounds. “Ellipses thrive in the artist’s statement - proof of his inclination to bask in the inchoate, the unformed, the beginning of an activity. . The closest that we can come close to the works of Arvin is in that confidence that there is always enough to say with a few colours, or with the softest strokes or, in cases of more abrasive touches of the brush, the limited hues of the dark with the light. These are his works now: pared to the minimum, brought down to the least intrusion. Like the beginning of forms. The road to creation.” - Excerpt from the exhibit notes by Tito Genova Valiente of Business Mirror.
