Hi, I'm the artist MANYANA.
At this moment I no longer make music, because I'm actually fed up with the music industry. I am not looking for a record company; I don't feel like wasting my time, efford, money etc...on a record company who will waste my time, money and effords on creating something I don't want to become; I don't want to become an image, I don't want to be perfect, I don't want to be "acceptable" to the standards of the record companies, who think that fans are asking for " a certain type of singer/songwriter and certain songs" Neither do I want to be acceptable to the "huge demands and stress and to the hypocrisy" most people in society would like to put me under. I don't live my life for the outside world around me, trying to be perfect, being something "society" would like me to be. I think society is going the wrong way and I don't want to be part of it.
I have few friends. Most people I want around me are actually CATS; I feel good around cats, apposed to "stressed" around people. So I try to avoid getting mixed up with people. I think THEY ARE WEIRD!!!!
But then again... a lot of people think I am weird.
Weird? How weird? What is weird? I maybe I think a little more weird than is officially standard thinking. So, I'm officially psychotic!!!! (Yes, I hear and see sometimes things that others do not see or hear.) and I have experienced a lot of strange things happening to me and the world around me. So what???? What's wrong with that? A radio/television has different frequences, doesn't it? And I might hear something totally different because I'm tuned into another channel
That doesn't mean that YOU SEE REALTIITY and I don't... It just means you don't see or hear the type of reality I am seeing, it's pretty real to me... and it is good inspiration for my paintings or my music.
Because I don't like to be around people, I don't like to perform on stage, so I don't... I prefer to be surrounded by nature.
Why did I stop creating music?
I like to make music, but it is difficult for me when the music keeps repeating itself in my head and when I can't get it quiet in my head anymore. After a while I can't sleep anymore, I feel very aggressive, my bloodpressure starts rising very high and I keep getting nose bleeds. Soon every sound creeps up on me and I can't take it anymore!!!! It's impossible for me to find rest, not out of my head and not in my head.... SO FINALLY I STOPPED MAKING MUSIC... though I still want to sometimes...but it is selfdestructing to me. I try to avoid music. I still want to make lyrics, but I don't want to make the arrangements anymore.
Nowadays when I am in a creative mood I paint.
I have my own style I call "borderlining" or Borderline Art.
How can I explain it? You would have to see to understand. My paintings are made up of this kind of golden borders, "coloured parts" that do not want to mingle with the other colours,
It's actually my way to mock with society, because that is what I see in society: everyone gets stuck into these "borders" society puts upon them... YOU ARE this, and that and therefor you are this... or that. One person is always labeling another one, unabling the other one to simply BE HIMSELF, without being influenced by whatever is IN or OUT!.
I see myself as a piece of clay in a world of statues; I can manipulate the clay I am and take the appearance of a statue, but not for long... I'm unable to be a stable statue. I hate myself as a statue anyway! So why should I want to be something I hate to be?
Being clay makes me highly sensitive and creative. I am not better or worse than other people, I'm simply more "natural", more "instinctive", I have a dozen antennas on my head wihich are susceptible to things which other people cannot experience; see, hear or feel. Some think it is crazy, but I think it is actually very natural. I know lots of people don't understand, but any cat would understand!
I am not someone who would crawl into a dark corner because I am different or crazy to most people. No way! I can use this and create this kind of talent to make my Borderline Art.
