About the Artists:
Royden Gibbs is one of the senior-most contemporary artists in Sri Lanka and is known internationally with a career spanning six decades. He is best known for his watercolours on historical sites and landscapes, but is equally versatile in many other media such as oils, pastels, ink, line and wash, to mention a few, and is proficient in a wide variety of subjects from still life, figures, portraits, wildlife, to landscapes and buildings. With a deep connection to Sri Lanka’s cultural heritage, his works often explore themes of conserving tradition and history.
Joseph Rodrigo is an artist/advertising creative director. As an artist, she is constantly examining contemporary themes using classical techniques to create her work which makes it a distinctive style. She explores more nature based subject matter and communicates the importance of environmental conservation, the human relationships with nature, interesting trees or even the day-to-day nature we take for granted. Using her skills in advertising and fine art, she constantly tries to communicate a message to the public. She is a contemporary artist celebrated internationally. www.dillai.com
