Calaj, an artistic pairing sharing philosophical

discoveries, technique and process. From this

partnership, a ritualistic practice of painting

developed, freeing the artists from personal desire,

allowing creative communion. The ritual, steps

designed to challenge psychic limits, brings the

physical and energetic forces to the work. Following

the steps sheds defenses and exposes vulnerability,

creating a meditation, allowing the spirit to guide the

painting’s expression.

This effort of intense focus opens reception and

transmission, the limitless expression of the unknown.
