My favorite artist


                     



  

 Solius Mendis



 He was born on 13 July 1895 in Ambalangoda.

 A person who has developed an artistic style that is unique to him.

Before drawing, he had the opportunity to study art in Ajanta, Ellora and Bhag in India and to learn       from the artist Nandalal Vos.

. Ancient paintings are a unique creation

 

In addition to drawing, he also created Buddhist statues. The paintings and lines of the Kelani Vihara are complex in nature. Even the most delicate elements of objects are created very realistically. Colors are created using local raw materials. The light is well lit.
