Biography

I am a Sri Lankan born self taught artist living in Surrey United Kingdom.With a background in architectural studies, I love traveling and lived in several countries the past few years. As such, my work draws inspiration from multiple cultures, landscapes and landmarks I have experienced personally. My work highlight the experience of a landscape, it’s mood, character, lighting and density, through several layers of colour, lines, texture and brush strokes. I zoom in and out of the actual memory of the landscape to construct the story in mind. I try to include the built and natural environments in my work as an interconnected entity, this I believe questions how the spaces occupy and correlate through the art work. Once I feel sufficient layers are complied, I pick- out the details with lines that I think contributes to the over all composition and character, then present it in an abstract format for the viewer to solve. An inconclusive situation of the space.
