About me
I am an Italian Srilankan Illustrator and Animation Director currently based in Italy. In my personal work I like to use illustration as a tool of self-exploration, exploring cultural identity and ordinary life through colours and movement. Alongside commissioned work, I also cover the role of Head of Animation and Exhibition Curator at La Guarimba International Film Festival.
