Aka | Life of Fire: Ruwan Prasanna
Forthcoming exhibition
Overview
Saskia Fernando Gallery is pleased to present Aka | The Life of Fire, a vivid new series that meditates on illumination as it sparks from within and reverberates outward through darkness. Rendered in striking reds, blues and fluorescent tones, these works pulse with an inner radiance that reveals itself gradually through layered surfaces. Balancing dense impastos with textural contrasts, the series conjures hues that feel at once unfamiliar and magnetic—an exploration of the elemental forces of emergence and transformation.
Prasanna graduated from Vibhavi Academy of Fine Arts, Kotte, Athurugiriya (2013) and has exhibited at India Art Fair, New Delhi (2025), National Art Gallery, Colombo (2008), Harold Pieris Gallery, Colombo (2007) and the George Keyt Foundation, Colombo (2005). Prasanna’s works are held in notable private collections, including the Galle Face Hotel, Paradise Road, and Taru Villas.
