Aasiri Wickremage is an artist with Sri Lankan roots, currently living in Surrey, UK. Drawing inspiration from multiple cultures, landscapes and landmarks - particularly those she has come across throughout her many travels, she composes works that highlight the experience of a landscape: mood, character, lighting and density. She zooms in and out of the actual memory of the landscape to construct new stories, seeking to represent both built and natural environments as an interconnected entity. Her paintings have featured in exhibitions and publications in the UK.
