A Solo by Shanaka Kulathunga
About the Artist
Shanaka Kulathunga moves between the disciplines of medicine and art with an uncommon clarity of purpose. Born in Sri Lanka in 1981 and trained as a medical doctor at the Colombo Medical Faculty, he approaches painting with the quiet introspection of someone attuned to the intimate realities of life, suffering, and resilience. This dual grounding, scientific and aesthetic, endows his practice with a depth of empathy and psychological precision that distinguishes his presence in contemporary figurative painting.
