The 16-foot long monument of 3,000-odd film technicians, mainly actor, who has discovered the Malayalam film industry since the first Malayalam film, VigathkumaranIn 1928, currently, it looks like hyperbole that spreads imagination. And then I see it in the house of former insurance staff-artist-artist-artist Javan Chacko and his wife, Reena.

Relaxing some carved wooden stands, a flicker lamp is placed in front of it, which is in the form of respect for the departed souls, the embossed in the glass embossed in the glass work and pictures of those who have passed.

A film resembles the reel, the work of wood-frame art, a stunning piece for the sheer zodiac of time (about 29,000 hours) that translates over the 18-year-old years.

The first place takes me 67 -year -old Javan, who is his studio/gallery to show me the picture of his oldest brother, late PC Kunjumone, who died in 1979. At the time of his death, he was working as a poster design artist in Chennai. Javan is the fourth brother and this work is the way of remembering Javan. “Since he was a part of the film industry, I wondered why there is not a memorial for all who had gone before and after!”

We see the work through the eyes of PK Rosie, the first female actor of Malayalam cinema, in which two symbolic eyes are painted with her portrait. Malayalam Cinema’s father is also Jessie Daniel.

In 2007, by actor Mohanlal (tribute to pictures for pictures) (Tributes for pictures’ (tribute to pictures) (tribute to pictures) was named ( Employment Mumbai,

Glass painting and stained glass reminding using a technique, painted (referring to old photos) some images. He has also pasted pictures received from Malayalam film magazine, Grandfather,

“Ponamma Mausi [the late actor Kaviyoor Ponnamma] It was helped to take many pictures. In fact, she was the one who encouraged me to move forward, literally. He lit a lamp and symbolically portrayed the first image, “reminds Javan as he shows me one of his last photos with the actor a week before his death.”

Ponamamma holds a prominent place in the work. Late actor Oduvil Annikrishnan’s wife gave him A Dakshina (Honorarium)) 101 as a token for your work. , 1 coin has also found a place on painting.

What started as a monument for 53 people increased in this work. “There is no reason to choose the figure. This happened to me only, ”says Javan. He has also depicted the physiological aircraft of the skull – coronal, Sagittarius and horizontal – to accept the anonymous and unknown. “This is my reply in search of those who have not received representation here. I have painted and placed all the pictures that I can find, ”Javan says.

When you look at the faces on the painting, you realize the number of people we have lost.

“Some people such as Ponamma aunt and innocent, who have touched this work, are now part of it,” Javan says. A former employee of the Kochi-based insurance company, Javan is a self-affected artist who has mostly painted on glass.

Although he had earlier painted, Chitrarashanali is his most ambitious. He bought a glass from Bangalore. “This is the type of glass that is used to make walls. It was an achievement to shipping Kochi, without disintegrating! “Once it reached the studio, it was placed on a wooden table for ease of painting.

The couple have been through several ups and downs, but one of the worst was the 2018 flood. “We did not expect anything to happen, fortunately nothing happened, even if the house was burnt close to a meter and a half water. It took so much time to clean it!” Reena says.

Javan did not draw till his brother passes away. “I had to join the police, wear a uniform. Do that kind of work but I am here. Call it destiny or what will you do! ,

He has gifted his paintings to various people as late APJ Abdul Kalam, Atal Bihar Vajpayee and Amitabh Bachchan, Rajinikanth and others.

But the most memorable, and special, a doubles journey for the Vatican is 2016. The agenda of the yatra was to give Pope Francis the ocean of consciousness, a painting that he made over a period of 10 years. This work is completed with a painful representation of man’s rise and decline from the beginning of the time to the early time to the early time.

“In decade or more, Javan spent painting it, he always talked about giving it a gift to the Pope. I suspected that this was happening anytime, it happened. It was a miracle that we were not able to meet the Pope, but were also giving them paintings and blessed by them, ”Reena says.

“There were many people from all over the world in Vatican that day. Initially we were told that we could meet him in a few years but something happened and we were among the first people to meet him, “she says.

After working close to his heart for nearly two decades, Javan has already found a place for 1,400 kg monument. “Mohanlal has assured me that he will take it and place it in one of his private galleries. Red [Mohanlal] Has been a source of continuous support and spiritual energy. It gives us pleasure that Chitraradanjali will find a house with him, ”Javan indicated.
