Red, yellow, blue Painting

Award winner at the London art biennale 2019. Aasiri's approach to painting has been influenced by her asian heritage from Sri lankan and other asian countries she has lived in. The different types of art and architecture in each asian country that at times create connections between countries and also at times sets apart is reflected in her artwork. She enjoys creating an interplay between recognizable and abstract forms. The familiar and foreign. She is fascinated with the relationship between architectural symbols and the variety of meanings they contain. These narratives are used as an iteration means with the viewer. Her artworks are a way to share familiar and unfair feelings, decoded through a collage of paint layers, motifs, found objects & text in her native language.
