ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This painting comes as two panels of 100cm square each. They can be hung either side by side horizontally or on top of each other vertically. This image is in some ways two frames of an animation of an iris as it shows the dilation, the opening. When the eye dilates, it’s like a window opening, A glimpse into the depths of what makes us whole. It’s a moment of vulnerability, of openness and trust, A chance to see beyond the surface and beyond the dust. It’s a time when we’re exposed, when we’re laid bare, When we’re forced to confront what we might not want to share. It’s a moment of truth, of clarity and insight, A chance to see ourselves in a different light. So let your eyes dilate, let them open wide, And see what’s inside you that you might try to hide. Embrace the emotions that come with this change, And let them guide you on your journey, no matter how strange. The iris is what makes our eyes shine bright.

I am a British artist born in Sri Lanka, I like to think that I have an appreciation for images that convey powerful ideas and concepts. I strive to create paintings that look obvious at first, but are more complex when you look at it for a while. Which makes an emotional connection and becomes thought provoking. I use animal metaphors to add a universal resonance and create an emotive quality, with a touch of humour and whimsy. My preferred mediums are oils and charcoal, which I use in a luscious and intuitive way to create work that I hope, is visually stunning and deeply meaningful. My work has been exhibited in the National Portrait Gallery in London, where I was a finalist in the BP Portrait Painting Awards and the Taylor Wessing Portrait Awards. At the age of 23, I was awarded by the Royal Society of Portrait Painters for creating the most outstanding work by a young artist. I have a body of work with Getty Images which is licensed around the world. My photographic images have graced the covers of TIME magazine, Le Monde, and other publications.
