Dinu Asanka's 3D pictures trace the infinity between dream and reality. She delves deep into the figurative language of metaphor, exploring mythology in new contexts. Explore amazing little worlds from an insect's perspective. Highlighting the beauty of growth and decay found in nature. She creates complex layered pieces with frames created by interweaving pigments and charcoal, paints, and natural earths. With a mixture of organic pattern pigments and familiar archetypes, her paintings pose a question about the nature of perception and beauty, and it is against this background that temporary guides and strange creatures dance and invite the viewer to follow her various series.
Archetypes, the basis for the universal appeal of mythological concepts, are one of the defining inspirations for her images. Raised in Galle, Sri Lanka, Dinu is surrounded by a wealth of natural inspiration. The beauty of the Sinharaja Forest Reserve near her home seems to have helped these lively paintings. The beauty of nature is echoed in the textures and fragmentary patterns of her work.
Initially, her career spanned the worlds of illustration and gaming, but recently she has focused more on her own new creations in pigments and charcoal prints. With a deep focus on world history and alien worlds, these works are presented to you with great love.
