Award Winning Artistic Expressionist
Sri Lanka
A cross-section of contemporary society is
subjected to his art pieces. He removes the common "Human Figure"
from his art, focusing on the "Material World" resulting from human
activities. He prefers to paint "close-ups" imprinting the fine
details in them. Experienced as a fashion designer and a graphic designer, he
holds a high level of characteristic discipline and professionalism that is
also visible in his art.
He does not limit his expressions to local
traditions or cultural identity but considers only the need for expression. His
artwork's materialistic nature and features symbolize readable
"Icons" of contemporary human needs, wishes, and requirements. His
"Materialistic Space" of warm and sensuous colors closely relating to
worldly desires, should be read with an open mind.
