Prasadani Kumari

I am a Sri Lankan painter-woman struggling with pain in my heart to keep my internal
antenna functioning on a daily basis , that signals about the small lighted up stage within a
vast dark arena ; to save my internal drive for authentic self-expression from the aggressive
dark forces of profit driven dynamics in the art world. Drawing and painting became an
addiction for me, from a very young age. From there on, I started to paint according to the
topics that were given to me by my family, my school and eventually the society at large. As I
grew older, supported with four years of university aesthetic education, I felt that my skill as
well as the desire to paint grew with me, maturing with each new phase of experiences.
