An island is never still. ‘I have tried to hold that motion in paint’. This exhibition gathers Sri Lanka as it is lived, moment by moment. The works watch how people hold themselves and how they work, gather, offer, and rest, from nude studies to saris and everyday dress where identity meets habit. Seen together, they sketch a larger story in which culture is not a symbol but a practice carried by bodies, households, and streets. Each canvas traces a living heritage sustained by those who make and wear it, passing it on in small acts. What unfolds is a quiet record of a place and its people, a portrait of Sri Lanka in which its people make each moment rich.

In Ceylon: Moments in Time, she steps into the stories that shaped this island long before it was Sri Lanka – back to Serendib, Taprobane, and even further into the whispered age of Ravana’s reign. Through her work, the past is not reconstructed but re-dreamed: figures move with ancient familiarity, colors pulse with forgotten rhythms, and moods shift like fragments of time caught by her mind’s camera.
Each canvas is an embrace of imperfection – mistakes becoming discoveries, the mess becoming its own form of truth. She paints as she lives: searching for authenticity, meeting fear with awareness, and seeing the world through childlike eyes – curious, open, unguarded. Inspired by every sight, every sensation, every sunrise and sunset, her art becomes both anchor and release; a way of balancing the inner tide.
This journey is hers, but the stories are now yours to explore. May these paintings carry you into the living spirit of Ceylon, where history blurs into myth and imagination finds its own wings. Perhaps, in these moments, you’ll uncover a story only you can tell.
