Today I am a free, independent artist devoid of any particular
attachment to any school. What is special in me is that
I have not built a particular style to recognize my work
of Art/separately. When I visualize something interesting
in my mind I first give thought whether the outcome will
be traditionally serious, or whether it will be in highter
vein. There is why most Art lovers say that I have a number
of Artists inside me. The results are so different. I have
conducted very successful Art exhibitions not only in Sri-Lanka
but also in Germany, Austria, Australia, England and several
other countries. I have participated exhibitions of Art
and sculpture conducted by Ceylon Society of Arts.

I have won the Presidential awards from 1996 to 2002 and
since 2003 I have received highest awards for best performance
from international Art Associations.
Presently I am living at Ahangama, a beautiful village between
Galle and Matara and at the same spot where I had the ‘VISIKI
ART GALLLRY’. I am also one of the victims of tsunami
which devasted all my awards received, my paintings all valuables
including my home. The awards which I had treasured so much
were washed away and they can never be brought back. However
like Phonix which rose from Ashes, I had to rebuild my Art
Gallery from the debris that was left behind by tsunami.
However I am very much grateful to my Art lovers, all Art
and cultural friends, dancing, music or whatever, for giving
me the hand to rise again. Finally I wish to give a message
to all.
