This is a picture based on a photograph that I took at Wimbledon Dog racing before it closed down. Greyhounds are a challenge to capture as they pass by so fast. I painted a dramatic sky to accentuate the speed of the winning dog. I also painted the dogs that the also rans fumbling anf struggling to accentuate the concept. I also used lush thick paint to accentuate the power of the image. Winning, oh winning, what a sweet sound, The feeling of victory, oh so profound. The triumph of effort, the fruit of labor, A moment of glory that one can savour. It's not just the prize or the accolades won, It's the journey of hard work and the battles won. The sweat and the tears shed along the way, The sacrifices made, day after day. Winning is not just about being first, It's about pushing yourself, and quenching your thirst. The determination to strive and never give in, And the courage to face the challenges within. Winning brings joy, a sense of pride, It fuels the soul, and ignites the fire inside. It's a testament to our grit and our will, A reminder that with hard work, we can fulfill. So let us embrace the spirit of winning, With our heads held high, and our hearts singing. For in this journey, we shall find, The strength to conquer, and the will to shine.

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.
