Artist Statement:
In this modern age, there is
no differentiation of art into
sculpture, graphic art etc.
All these belong to visual
art. In the creation of a
visual art, there is no
classification into sculpture
of clay or some other solid
substance, or attribution of
the canvas and oil paint for
art. A visual art can be
created with any substance or
colour encountered in our
daily life. Neither is an art
gallery necessary for the
display of a visual art. Any
place appropriate for the
creation can be used for the
purpose. Age of communication
began in 2000. Because of the
computer, visual art began to
progress rapidly. Today it has
advanced up to digital
pictures. Art was born to
achieve some specific
objective. Art came to be
expressed through audio and
visual media. Therefore, human
art has not been divided into
canvas, brush and oil paint. A
visual art can be built by
utilising of any material or
colour encountered in daily
life. An art gallery is not
required to display a visual
art. Any appropriate place can
be used for the purpose.

| Your Personal Biography |
I am from Aranayaka, a very beautiful rural area situated at the foot of the hill country in Sri Lanka. The famous Utuwankanda Mountain where Sri Lankan Robin Hood Saradiel had live can be seen from our home about three four miles away. I had a special interest in Arts and Drawing from my early childhood. My childhood drawings have been published in the children's page of newspapers. This provided me with lot of confidence and encouragement to pursue my study of art, as I grew older. I have often been inspired by folk art. When I was a child, a construction of new Buddhist Temple began in my village. I had been a regular visitor there to see how artists are carving sculptures and painting Buddhist Jathaka stories on the temple walls. As systematic training was not available in my hometown for art I had to follow classes conducted by Ceylon Society of Arts in Colombo. It was a three-year course. With the knowledge obtained there I successfully passed Advance Level with Arts as a subject and entered to the Institute of Aesthetic Studies at the University of Kelaniya, (University of the visual & performing Arts) Sri Lanka. where I followed a four-year degree course and obtained Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree [BFA]. After serving in some semi government and private organizations related to the field of art, I am now serving as an Art Director in a Multi-national Ad Agency & image contributor (Professional Photographer & artist ) at Visage Images which is the master delegate of Getty Images.
