The bold, vibrant paintings created by ARVIN SUKUL reflect his own identity as a Suva-born Fijian of Indian descent. Arvin’s themes often contain an interesting fusion of the Pacific and Indian cultural references. “The enlongated, contemporary face characters in his compositions have life stories behind them”. “Stories of love, sadness, humour, joy and inspiration – emotions most of us can relate to.” He is a well established and popular artist in Fiji and his work is mostly collected by expatriates, tourists, resorts, corporations and buyers from all over the world. The use of rich, exotic colours and textures gives his paintings a strong physical appearance, bringing an exotic beauty to many homes in Fiji and abroad.
