The Artist Behind the Stories

Deepthi Wijewardana is a Sri Lankan artist. His portfolio spans acrylic-style painting, stylised figurative work and detailed pen-and-ink drawing.

The story of how Deepthi began painting, and how his practice has developed, will be shared here in his own words.

Across the collection, recurring subjects include temples and stupas, coastal towns, hill-country villages, city views and intimate figures beneath trees.

Every work in the current collection depicts the island — its shores, its heritage sites and its people.

Some works are built from flat, luminous colour; others from thick, expressive paint; the drawings from patient layers of fine hatching. More on the artist's process is coming soon.
