Chantia Malaja
See what cannot be seen
Touch what cannot be touched
Feel what cannot be felt

See what cannot be seen Touch what cannot be touched Feel what cannot be felt - You decided to stay anonymous. Why? - This is what my art is about. About seeing what cannot be seen, about touching what cannot be touched, about feeling that cannot be felt. There is something which cannot be perceived by senses or mind but it is possible to experience it by the impact that it makes. Like the fire and the smoke or like a mysterious killer and the real body. And this analogy is correct to the certain point, because we need to know the killer or the fire. But there is something that cannot be seen ever. Never. It is just because of its nature. And you can never see it because it is hidden from the direct perception. Still you can see and experience the the impact; the smoke or the body. But although you know that this kind of something is the reason, the beginning of the smoke, you cannot grasp it in any way. You cannot explore the form, matter of character of this reason. It is beyond the definition. I decided to become hidden from direct perception. But there is my art which is vivid sing of my existence as something. - You do not want a definition? - I do not want the label. Seeing the smoke people want to know it’s origin, the fire. But the fire cannot tell anything about the nature of the smoke. It can tell something, but not too much. It is a wrong way of experiencing the smoke. It is the way to make the impact on the smoke, make it bigger or extinguish the fire, specially when you are a fireman. But to experience the smoke you do not have to know the nature of the fire. And sometimes I think that some very important things hidden from us just to not allowing us to make this impact. This is why I do not want to make the impact on myself to keep my art authentic and experience the ideas and the colours of the feeling that it contains. What is this something hidden? - As I said I do not know because it is not possible to know and understand it. It is something that nobody knows and will never know, no matter how hard he tries or how much he or she convinces to know. Of course there is a huge desire to know and understand it. We are all firemen or detectives. We want to know. And we want to make impact on the hidden things. It is normal. But at same point there is time to give up and experience thing what they are. It is what my art is about. We are looking for the reason and the cause of the pearl. We know that there must be something what made the pearl. But is is not important. The pearl is important, its beauty and the process of creating the pearl. Just experience the pearl without cursing it to get inside.
