Jonathan Avinash Victor, an artist who works with ink, graphite and acrylic, may be familiar with art galleries, but as a relatively new name in the art scene, he carried an air of relaxed confidence at his debut solo exhibition, Genesis, which opened at Temu House in Petaling Jaya last weekend.

The 42-year-old Malaysian, now residing in Singapore, spent a decade as an avid art collector before an encounter with the late artist Jeganathan Ramachandram a few years ago inspired him to embark on his own artistic journey.
