Kushlani Jayasinha
My art comes from a place of meditation and inner search. It's my path to freedom. When people respond to my art I believe they respond to a visceral part of themselves longing to be free. My wish is to empower them to the possibilities.
In kindergarten I was given a chance to paint. I felt exhilarated. I still can feel the freedom of picking what I wanted. That sense of freedom, I still long for.
My process is still the same. I approach my canvas and feel for the colors and paint. It is always a surprise for me what comes out. I fiercely guard my art to be authentic with no compromises. It is a place where I boldly express myself, where real Kushlani comes through. It unravels me, clarifies me, just the way meditation does. Coming from a Buddhist background, Nirvana is the blessed state to be. My hunch is, it is acutely being in the present moment with awareness. Like meditation, Art takes me closest to this state.
