Theresia Malaise was born and grew up in Antwerp, Belgium. From an early age she felt the urge to travel and as soon as she could, she started a journey that would not end until she found herself, 12 years later, pregnant on a small Mediterranean island. She is still traveling, a constant search, in her studio with her paintings on that little spot in the Mediterranean Sea. She studied art both in Belgium and in Spain and has received an extensive artistic education since her youth.

'I love to observe what´s already there. It´s about finding something that makes a feeling very present, that gives a formal shape to a certain moment.

There is magic involved in making art, it is creativity in it’s purest form, with no restriction or function other then to be itself. My process of creating involves a lot of digging and doubting. It requires silence and stillness, formal concentration and devotion in order to bring the images to the world of matter. It’s an expedition, a soul journey. It seems like a world contained within a form, a form that cannot be made up by the mind, that reveals itself when searching, when all becomes empty, until it seems like there is nothing more to be found.'
