The artist's celebrated works portray the simplicity of village life and the carefree joy of childhood. In Splash, Calvin Chua captures the movement of children at play, through a combination of rhythmic forms that exude movement. Renditions of fruit orchards and children playing or splashing in rivers serve as nostalgic reflections of his childhood.  Calvin Chua received his Diploma in Fine Art at the Kuala Lumpur College of Art in 1982. His solo exhibitions include Dance on Canvas (2023), Dancing Hues of an Untold Tale (2022), The Joy of Living: The Artistry of Calvin Chua (2016), Rhapsodies Beyond The Silk Road (2013), and Fruit Season (2011).
