Original artwork description:

Self Portrait of the Artist as imagined, with flowers and butterfly
Inspired by my own home country, Sri Lanka, the deliciousness of the aroma of the local flora and colour.

*IDEA: Contemplating In the moment. Being present with self awareness.
Thinking about my mother's favourite flowers, Anthuriums.
And undecided intruder, the Crab Claws. She still has to get her mind agrees to let this new flower in. But everything will be instantly great when the lover arrives.
The butterfly.

*PROCESS: Creative expression through medium manipulation and
idea generation from personal stories are the approaches of realising this piece.
Beautiful complimentary colour display with patiently rendered rhythmic flow patterns of my signature stripes. Self representation of portraiture with romantic symbolism.

*INFLUENCE: Deeply expressive facial features and body movements in my works are highly influenced by my cultural heritage and decades long figure studies of historical frescoes in caves and murals in spiritual locations from my birth country.
