My name is Menaka De Silva, I'm an Award-Winning Artist and I work with many types of media to represent and define my own existence in the conceptual art world.
I was raised to foster my artistic pursuits from a very young age, both musically and visually.
I specialized in Visual Arts in High School and then graduated with a Bachelor of Design in Fashion Design from Toronto Metropolitan University.
I am currently working as a freelance artist and designer. Visit my contact page or submit your inquiry below - I'd love to bring your creative vision to life!
My work is presented on flat surfaces, this can include anything from paper, canvas, panels or on digital screens.
I enjoy dabbling in all media, both wet and dry, physical and digital.
My repertoire ranges from acrylic, oil and watercolour paint to pencil crayon, ink, marker, graphite, digital photography, videography and editing, all the way to embroidery, drapery, drafting, typography, etc.
The ideas I have are usually informed by emotion and the people around me.
I tend to work directly on the final surface of each piece with any rough drafts in my mind's eye. I revise and seek references as the work continues.
My focuses are the human form, portraiture and the concept of flow.
Let me know if you have an idea we can work on together.
