” In this era, we see many creative and intelligent minds striving to do their best in promoting Malaysia to the world at large. As for me, it is important that people see Malaysia as a successful country in every area possible. I strive to encourage and educate both Malaysians and non-Malaysians to discover the art of Batik, which is part of the Malaysian culture. I created TMS Art as a stepping-stone to gradually uphold my aim.

TMS is actually an abbreviation of my name, Tan Mei Shia that was given by my most loving parents. Working in TMS ART, is one of the most exciting moments of my life. We as a team in TMS Art, work together and grow together each day. The quick results of our achievements and efforts were truly amazing.

This was shared with everyone especially the media, public etc. Our motto is “Live and learn Art everyday”. This encourages us to learn from our mistakes and to move on to achieve our daily goals. ” said TMS Art Gallery Founder, Ms.Emilia Tan.

” The World without Design is just like sunset without the Sun. This statement does make sense; thousand of the designers / artists are working in front of the computers and art studios everyday coming up with thousands of new designs and ideas in the market. Man-made products and natural products are also moving along this line. “

The Evolution of Batik

Shifting from the complexity of conservative batik, Emilia Tan, (founder of TMS Art Gallery), re-interprets the traditional art into modern,’everyday’designs suitable for every occasion. The gallery features wearable art – jackets, ensembles, scarves, and bags – designed by Emilia Tan. Housing 10 resident artists under its roof, TMS Art current mission corresponds to the new direction it is heading towards, to cultivate the evolutionary change of contemporary fashion.

Batik, is a traditional technique from Java, Indonesia, in which a wax-resist illustration is applied by hand or block-printed. Emilia Tan’s designs are derived from free-flowing inspirations of any period, especially the current times. Not only is nature a great influence, but also geometrical shapes and forms.

Experimenting batik on different fabrics and colour compositions, Emilia Tan elevates batik to new levels of elegance and creative ingenuity. Each design is spawned from motifs and styles ranging from the traditionally romantic to the modern wearer. Some are simple upon first look, yet complex with hidden depth and richness once you delve a little deeper. Imagination reigns in TMS Art.
