Gamini Abeykoon is an artist based in Sri Lanka whose paintings were presented at local and international solo and collective exhibitions. Inspired by the scenery and history of his native Sri Lanka, his intricate works are created exclusively with pen and ink. His compositions are also characterized by tints or colors which represent objects in two or three dimensions. Gamini was always most interested in drawing from his childhood and drawing and painting made him absorbed in Sri Lankan comics and advertising for years in his life. He was quite amused with the abandoned history and classical sense of it. Once he started learning line drawings in black on white surfaces, its rhythm and feel, matched well with his amusement. Gamini specializes in nature, wildlife, human figures, portraits, and historical background sceneries.
