Arvid describes the depth that he finds in his work: "Wine is a great subject to paint because it has so many different elements: hot and cool surfaces fluid, wood, glass, chrome, cloth. As a painter, it gives me so much to draw from. Elements is a perfect example that combines all of the elements that I like to work with in a painting. It is a composition of textures and materials as well as color and space.
Thomas' advice on enjoying wine mirrors his approach to painting it. "You have to trust your own instincts; learn what you like in wine by drinking it, not by listening to what other people say about it. It is much more rewarding to shape your own tastes - so pour yourself a glass and enjoy!"
