Florentino at Francesca

Alvin Florentino, 2013 grand prize winner for painting of the Metrobank Art and Design Excellence (Made) awards, is holding his first solo exhibit, “Narrative Threads,” at Galerie Francesca.

Everything has to be balanced,” he says. “Not too much, not too little. My paintings are the same. Right colors, but not too vibrant. Maybe that’s why I prefer earth tones, reds, golds, grays.”

“Narrative Threads” runs at Galerie Francesca at SM Megamall until Aug. 12. Call 5709495; e-mail galeriefrancesca. mega@gmail. com
