Majid Kafai is not only a Poetry Ambassador but also a very interesting painter. If ,often, he chooses the non-figurative world, it is because that world is vaster than the real one. There is more to discover in the unknown than the known. If the limit of the known is the unknown, the reverse does not seem to him to be true.
In this indefatigable observer, there is a serene but ardent love of the world, of the humanity.
Prose is the face. Poetry is the mask. It imposes the distance which makes all faces one-impassive as a tragic mask. The face is the motif; the painting is its mask.
Starting in 1978 the forms appear to be freed of any reliance on reality. The absence of figuration came from a desire to interiorize the worldby evoking arcane memories.
The form, the tone and the lines are the true alphabet of the painter.

rough translation
Wake up !
This Earth
Is a particle in the sky
Our galaxy
Is a drop inside the ocean of the world
In such a vast space
Galaxies have no value
Let alone human beings
Human beings
Are tiny ants on the Earth
<SPANSTYLE="FONT-SIZE: 14pt?>Galaxies in the Universe
Are like ourselves
Oh! asleep!
This world is much superior
Than you and me
Than prophets and
People of religion
Know!
Religion
Has a legend nature
And is a way for spreading nonsense
Is a story told to a child in bed
Is talking
Out of want
About trope
But HE
Who is above want
Does not need those idle words
Clean your heart
From deceit and hypocrisy
Greed and avidity
Oppression and agression
If you be good and do good deeds
You need not follow any religion
You are free from that opium and bhang.
