Thanuksha Pathirana

Art has always been a quiet yet powerful form of expression for me. A space where emotion, intuition, and beauty meet without needing explanation. My work is deeply inspired by the contrast between stillness and movement, boldness and vulnerability. I’m drawn to color stories that evoke feeling, and compositions that invite the viewer to pause and reflect.

Based in Sri Lanka, I create pieces that carry a sense of mood and presence, whether through abstract forms or nature inspired imagery. Each painting is an exploration, not always planned, but always honest.

This space is a window into my world, thank you for stepping in. I hope something here resonates with you, lingers with you, or finds a place to belong.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, and a Master’s in Entrepreneurship from the University of Nottingham, UK. In addition, I have pursued specialized studies in Lingerie Technical Design at De Montfort University, UK, and I am currently enrolled at the Milan Art Institute, USA, further deepening my exploration into the world of fine art.

With a professional background in the global apparel industry, I’ve had the privilege of working with renowned international brands, contributing both strategically and creatively. My career journey has been shaped by a unique balance of analytical precision and artistic passion, what I consider the harmony of both left and right brain strengths.

My foundation in mathematics, logic, and business strategy complements an intuitive, expressive love for art and design. I consider this blend a personal gift allowing me to approach creative expression with both emotion and intention. Art is not just something I do, it’s a natural extension of how I experience and interpret the world.
