“The Collection” is a visual masterpiece that showcases Arvid’s ability to capture the beauty of the wine experience. With just the essentials of the tasting room, Arvid’s mastery of reflection takes us beyond the surface in a maze of shadows and glass. The contrast of wood and metal imparts a transparent quality to the table, creating an unparalleled depth of composition. Like the elegant labels that adorn the wine within, “The Collection” reminds us that the real beauty is hidden just beyond the surface.

It’s easy for Arvid to find inspiration in the life that surrounds him: “Some people look at my art and think that I paint wine bottles, but others are able to make a connection and understand that what I paint is the wine experience . . . it’s about finding the beauty in the moment, the shared experience surrounding a great bottle. Whether I’m cooking dinner with the family or sharing a glass of wine with my wife while the sun sets, I look for the simple pleasures that make any day an excuse to open a special bottle.”
