Priyadarshani Tennakoon

Priyadarshani Tennakoon is a contemporary abstract artist whose work explores texture, colour, and balance. Through abstraction, she examines the space between control and freedom, inviting viewers to interpret her work in their own way.

Her artistic journey began in 2010 with the founding of Anuhasa Creations - a venture featuring handcrafted greeting cards, artificial flower arrangements, wall decorations, and paintings. It grew out of her passion for handmade design and continues to serve as a platform for her creative projects, which have gradually evolved into a deeper engagement with painting. Abstract art has become her way of translating emotion and observation into visual form.

Nature is her main source of inspiration. Elements such as light, landscapes, and organic shapes often appear in her work, sometimes realistically, sometimes abstracted. Her paintings move between naturalism and surrealism, reflecting simplicity and contrast through layered textures and calm tones.

Her paintings have been shown in group exhibitions and are recognized for their calm, reflective tone. She views her work as an ongoing process of experimentation, where each piece reflects observation, emotion, and personal growth. For Priyadarshani, painting is a way to reflect on everyday experiences and express them in new, simplified forms.
