The by-product of having great talent in painting
and photography mixed with bad trips in the past, would lead one to produce praiseworthy
artworks that might catch someone’s interest to have it on display.
Tya, an astonishing young lady with an
immense gift in the arts, was chosen to have her artworks displayed at Hartamas
Shopping Centre (HSC). The exhibition, called The Giving Art, was sponsored by Mayland
as part of the Advertising & Promotion initiatives by the mall management.
Now this exhibition has a bit of a twist to
it. The artist got the inspiration for the artworks from her agonising journey
through multiple surgeries and physiotherapy, after she became a victim of a
serious road accident in 2007.
This odyssey she went through didn’t leave her
to give up on life. Instead, she rose back up by learning to express her
thoughts, imagination and deeper self through her new found hobbies;
photography and painting.
Who would have guessed that a psychedelic
psychotropic drug experience would lead to a homecoming of a newfound
creativity that was not thought of before? Not only she found herself, but also
founded a business selling her art.

The General Manager (Retail) of HSC, Michael
Chee explained that it was a pleasure to make the exhibition a reality for Tya
by having her artwork displayed and sold at the mall.
What made The Giving Art special was that for
every artwork purchased, 10% of the proceeds was donated to charity, a sublime
gesture from a wonderful and giving individual.
This exhibition was one of the many A&P
activities that Orchan undertook for Mayland, group owner of HSC. Orchan
assisted in inviting selected art and community media to provide coverage for
the exhibition, as well as providing emcee service for the whole event.
