Soul Reflections an exhibition of paintings by Santha Jayalath will be held on 23 and 24 May at the J.D.A. Perera Gallery, University of Performing Arts, Colombo 7.

Santha said life’s intense and complex experiences and challenges manage to enrich the inner core of man, irrespective of the fact whether he lives within a society or in solitude. An artist entwines this spiritual sensitivity with the essence of his soul to enhance the creative process. Santha has attempted to recreate his soul by capturing the colours and shapes of his surroundings and combining them with the spiritual reality of the cosmos. “These creations are the reflections of my soul,” says Santha. He holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (Special) Degree from the University of Performing Arts and has held four solo exhibitions and 14 others to date collectively with several well known artists. He also received the Best Artist award at the Art Exhibition held by the Sri Lanka Art Society in 1996.
