Among the Lotus Leaves

“Sampath Gurunnanse is a masterful painter whose expertise in line art sets him apart in the contemporary art scene. His dedication to Asian Art Culture is evident in the disciplined practicality of his work, reflecting a deep understanding that only comes from genuine passion and study. As an avid reader and free thinker, Sampath’s conceptualization skills are exceptional, allowing him to create art that is not only imaginative and provocative but also rich in meaning and interpretation. His unique approach to line art is distinctive and instantly recognizable, a signature style that speaks volumes of his creativity. Moreover, his ability to recreate art with such fidelity that it closely resembles the original is nothing short of remarkable. Sampath’s work is a testament to the power of art to challenge and inspire, rooted in the rich traditions of structuralism and post-structuralism, yet always pushing the boundaries towards new horizons.”

The very first day I visited kelaniya rajamaha vihara the painting of hemamala/sudantha dantha created by the great artist Walimuni Solias mendis, was gone so deeply in to my mind and I thought of copying the same and hang it in my house. I have seen many copies of this painting copied by different artists, but I was not so satisfied. Therefore I searched for a right person to recreate it. Luckily through a friend of mine I found Sampath Gurunnanselage who recreated a hundred percent accurate copy to the same masterpiece. Also I must comment on the branded paints and the canvas he used, which brought a genuine depth to the painting. I really enjoy this, looking at it every morning when I wake up, is much like a meditation to me. Thanks Mr Sampath, you did the great job.
