About The Artwork

Measuring around 1.8m in diameter, #SakwalaChakraya (which translates to “Universe Cycle” in Sinhalese) is shallowly carved onto a low rock face among the protected park ruins. Its front facade can only be seen from ground level. In fact, four seats have been sculpted into a flat rock surface opposite that provides the ideal viewing area. Both the map and seats, which are also of mysterious origin, have puzzled historians, archaeologists, and academics for more than a century. "Its existence, function, or anything related to it is not mentioned in any historic records"

Gayan Hemarathne is an artist based in Sri Lanka whose paintings have been exhibited nationally. He was born in the ancient city of Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. In the series of paintings titled "Nuwarakalaviya,", the artist continues his investigation of the subjects of Mahavamsa’s time gaps with the Anuradhapura period. Most of the paintings explore Buddhist philosophy and archaeological contexts. The artist uses his practice to strengthen his spiritual consciousness. In addition, Gayan's artistic practice is also influenced by abstractionism. He favors the medium of acrylic on canvas in the creation of his conceptually based pieces.
