Multi-talented Contemporary Artist
Sri Lanka
Bandula Mahanama, who can be
identified as a multi-talented artist, is known for painting, dancing, music
and communication. He was an outstanding child from an early age due to his
skills and was also appreciated at various levels. Although he was a fun-loving
person with a deep perspective on life, his life ideals became trust, love and
happiness. Having filtered the satisfaction through every bitter experience, he
elaborates the core of his creations through activations and positive feelings.
Bandula Mahanama, who does not stick to just one direction, manipulates his lines of colors, shapes, and elegance from traditional paintings to new painting. For his master's degree, he studied psychology, communication, and social science in depth, thereby mixing art with those subjects and engaging in various experimental thoughts. The result was the creation of an experimental thesis for his master's degree called "Painting as a Psychotherapist". As, Bandula Mahanama points out, "They will surely bring you love, confidence and happiness. They will be as living medicine as a psychotherapist."
