Dilantha Upul Rajapaksha

Biography

"Art paves the way for freedom of mind, so I walk that path." Dilantha Upul Rajapaksha, a Sri Lankan artist specializing in painting and sculpture, has showcased his pieces nationally and in China. His distinctive portraits blend abstract and realistic elements, capturing the essence of an 'inner spirit.' Rajapaksha sees his artworks as vessels for unspoken experiences and thoughts, aiming to communicate them to a wider audience. He primarily employs acrylics and charcoal on canvas in his creations. Frozen Wings challenges the traditional portrait style by using bold brush strokes, embracing imperfections, and depicting an incomplete narrative. Instead of confining itself to glorifying aristocrats, it steps outside the frame to express a universal human story in an unconventional manner. This artwork reveals the hidden remorse within humanity and our flawed efforts to reconcile sorrow within the constraints of societal and cultural boundaries.
