Richard Arimado's exhibit "Chronicles" at Galerie Joaquin Rockwell was a powerful and touching tribute to Filipino life.

Richard's work, instantly recognizable by its whimsical style and vibrant colors, went beyond simple depiction. It transformed everyday scenes into a profound visual narrative that explored the deep connections within a community. His art felt both nostalgic and utterly fresh, blending the heart of folk storytelling with sharp, insightful observation.
