How did it start…

I grew up in Jaffna, Sri Lanka, in the 1990s during the civil war.
Surrounded by violence, displacement, and uncertainty, I began creating an imaginary world — one without fear. A quiet, beautiful place where I could feel safe, even if only inside my mind.

That world became the root of my creativity.

While conflict created a fractured outer reality, it also revealed an inner space where I could explore, reflect, and express. I turned to art as a way to cope — to translate the unspoken, to hold onto beauty, and to stay connected to hope.

At the heart of all this, I discovered a longing to expand, to wander, and to create something more than survival.

How it’s going...

As an artist, I now find inspiration through travel, solitude, and emotional landscapes — both real and imagined.

Whether exploring new places or retreating into quiet sanctuaries, I seek out spaces that reflect the feelings I once had to invent: peace, softness, stillness, and the quiet courage to feel.

My painting style blends the light and atmosphere of Monet, the emotional movement of Van Gogh, and my own abstract, dreamlike skies — creating scenes that aren’t always real, but always felt.

Since childhood, art has been my way of finding beauty and clarity in the midst of darkness — a way to remain human, and to hold onto love.

I hope my paintings offer you a place to pause, to reflect, and maybe — to see the world a little differently.

I hope my art delights your senses, engages your mind, and touches your heart. Please take a look around, and feel free to contact me with any questions or inquiries.
