Druvinka Puri Sri Lankan, b. 1971

We are all artists of consciousness, creating our “pictures” of reality. The enduring quest to find the ultimate reality and meaning of the universe merges human scientific discoveries with a spiritual longing for ultimate truth "an unchanging dance of existence beyond time and self" - Druvinka Puri

Born in Sri Lanka and living in the Himalayas in India, Druvinka is a sadhu who practices the ancient occult traditions in India. She has spent over two decades developing an intuitive practice exploring human experience and transcendent realms. Among the first artists exhibited by Barefoot Gallery Colombo, she creates atmospheric canvases in layered washes of greys, blues, sepia, and ochre, often mounting Nepali bamboo paper to form symbolic compartments of karma. Her smaller works draw on the religious symbols and landscapes of her Indian home, forming an ongoing spiritual quest expressed through art.
