How They Met

Why does that fish have a peacock feather tail?” She asked as he sprayed more paint onto the wall.

“It’s a peacock fish,” he answered, his voice muffled by the filter mask that covered most of his face.

“But there’s no such thing,” she asserted.

“There is in my world.” His muffled voice was matter of fact. “In my world, there are peacock fish, and both the females and males have peacock tails.”

“But in real life, only the boys have fancy tails.” She wasn’t ready to leave her reality behind, as she stared at the unfinished female peacock fish.

“Your choice!” he replied.

She witnessed an ardent passion as he sprayed. She was compelled to look closer, then deeper into the mural. Suddenly she was a beautiful peacock fish, elegantly alluring the male who had attracted her attention.

His voice broke her fantasy. “I’m done for the day.”

As the last word landed, she was back on the pavement, looking up at the painting.

“Seems like I could just live in there, forever. Huh, well, my name’s Janie. You must be hungry. Do you want to grab a bite? I know a great place in this hood.”

“My name’s Cyan, and yes… maybe… but I’m covered in paint, and I really need to clean up first. He removed his mask. Where can I meet you in say, one hour.”

“Starboard Fish and Chips,” she laughed. “Oh, but I only eat chips, no fish, and they have a special deep fryer for the chips. No fish gets fried in it.

Janie waited until almost closing time for Cyan, but he was a no show. She was haunted by the experience all the next day. The day after that, she returned to the mural. Cyan wasn’t there. However, she was.

Janie was larger than life, looking more radiant than she had ever thought herself to be. Cyan had painted her into his mural, her long black hair an electric peacock’s tail. She was ephemeral, and a part of him forever.

BIG THANK YOU to GI, for inviting me to take a stab at her “How They Met”series.

“I’m sure that art can transform spaces but also people!” -SATH

Above: “Team work! Wall in progress for Greenpeace Thailand.”

Below, the finished product: “Windmill is a project for Greenpeace during Wonderfruit festival, in Thailand, February, 2017.”

When I first met SATH, he was involved in a project, SOM-RIU This is a participatory mural project to aid people with intellectual disabilities at the Joan Mesquida Special Education Center, located in Manacor (Mallorca).

Artist: SATH & students – Som-Riu Project

This project continues, and here is the latest mural.

“I present to you Caterina Infante, the student chosen by a raffle to be portrayed during the project Som-Riu of this edition. As always, a pleasure to share time and colors with the students.”

Above: “Student” painted in 2016, This girl welcomes you when you get into the office of Save the Children Thailand.

Below: SATH got married in the summer of 2016. Check out his proposal!

When I asked him where this was he said: “In front of my parents house! “ Click on the pic to read an article on SATH’s most unique proposal.

Sath says: “I just moved back with my wife to Mallorca, my island in Spain. I will miss Bangkok but I’m really excited for the new projects here.”

So, what does SATH do when he gets back to Spain, he paints a child titled “Want to fly” at “Saladina art fest, in Mallorca.” ‘

His sense of humor follows his dedication to children’s & human causes. As seen in – Monkey business | 2016 – I hate Mondays.

⭐ ⭐ CHRISTMAS IS AROUND THE CORNER ⭐ ⭐

You can now buy SATH’s art in prints & on many products at Society 6 I have bought many things from S6 & I must say the quality is excellent.

SATH, an acronym for Sandro Thomàs, is not just an amazing artist, he is a wonderful person. The world needs a lot more SATHs. You’ll want to visit SATH on FaceBook or on SATH’s Website

She lives in Underpass Park.

She is a bit intense, but then she does live next door to the “Ask About Our Daily Special” dude from my last post.

Nick Sweetman also painted the first part of Wild Side One Done depicting the animated spray cans and art supplies & signed it under the shrimp.
