Chamini Weerasooriya is a renowned Sri Lankan visual artist who is currently developing and expanding her artistic journey in India. Her work bridges tradition, spirituality, and contemporary expression. She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts (BFA) from the University of Peradeniya and a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) from the University of Kelaniya. A former art teacher in the Sri Lankan government education system, Chamini has made a significant mark as the first female artist to work within the field of traditional Sri Lankan temple painting.

While rooted in Sri Lanka, her artistic practice has become increasingly active in India, where exhibitions, collaborations, and cultural exchange have played a central role in shaping her creative vision. Chamini has exhibited widely across India, South Korea, German, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.

Rooted in Buddhist philosophy, meditation, and spiritual inquiry, her work explores the inner journey of liberation through a deeply personal and feminine perspective. Her paintings reflect how worldly attachments become obstacles to enlightenment, and how the spiritual path unfolds through both struggle and profound beauty.

Her canvases frequently feature classical Sri Lankan Buddhist motifs and architectural elements such as moonstones, guard stones, stupas (dagobas), sacred sculptures, lotus flowers, Bodhi leaves, swans, and the Dhamma Chakra. Rendered in vibrant, layered colour, her paintings evoke the serenity, joy, and transcendence she envisions at the culmination of the spiritual journey.
