Hello. My name is Chai Malin. (/kaɪ̯/ /meɪlɪn/) I’m a visual artist focused on painting and drawing.

I am searching for my personal ideals of beauty. My primary aim is to play, investigate and be saturated with those ideals. I paint because it brings me both pleasure and engaging frustration. It’s a bit of a compulsion. My paintings are meant to live with and be around people. They are omens and documentations, of both past and future. They are companions and reflections.

The natural purpose of the artist, in my eyes, is to let unconscious undercurrents be channeled through them into visibility. These expressions then impact the world, which in turn cyclically impacts future expressions. The two are interlocked in ways we can’t comprehend. It is our gift, power, and responsibility, as people, to create.
