SOUL (THE SPIRIT OF MODERN MAN) As an artist I always attempt to depict the spiritual side of modern human beings. I express my personal understanding of modern man by using amazing colours and forms on canvas. I also want to depict my own emotions and expressions. I love colour and the colours I use in my paintings inspire my soul. I desire to bring poetic beauty in what I create. I do not try to convey the meaning of my paintings to the viewer. I would rather that they see what they want to see in my paintings. I am happy about this as that shows the difference between mass communication and artistic expression. VIKUM BANDARA JUNE 2017
