Hi, I’m Trisha Dullu

Artist Statement

I find beauty in the fleeting moments of life—the stories we leave behind and the possibilities ahead. These moments are full of contradictions, yet they resonate deeply, offering optimism amidst the complexity of human emotions. My art explores the impermanence of life, where everything is in constant flux, and it celebrates the beauty and strength found in human resonance.

Through my work, I invite viewers to pause and reflect on the delicate balance between what was, what is, and what might yet be. I seek to express the fragile equilibrium of our inner worlds, where joy and sorrow, connection and isolation, coexist.

I am drawn to the textures of natural decay—distressed wood, peeling paint, rusted nails, cracked walls, bare trees—and the layers of history found in the forgotten corners of cities. These textures become my language, embodying the fragility and resonance I aim to capture.

My process is intuitive. Each piece evolves organically, combining free-flowing forms with geometric structures. I respond emotionally to both the materials and the moment I want to capture. This unplanned engagement allows my emotions to shape the final form. Through this process, I hope to convey not only life’s impermanence but also the quiet beauty found in moments of decay, transformation, and renewal.

Ultimately, my art is an exploration of life’s transience and an invitation to embrace the ever-present possibility of change and renewal.

Biography

Trisha Dullu is a visual artist focusing on modern abstracts. Her forte is Acrylics with an inclination towards heavy use of experimental mixed mediums.

She has cradled this inherent flair for everything artistic ever since she was a child. Having an Honors degree in Economics and later a post-graduate degree in Masters in Business Administration, her career choices did not reflect this aptitude. She worked for various multinationals over a span of 12 years, heading a Branch of a leading international bank as her last position. She gave up her corporate career to bring up her two daughters. Giving herself 10 years in this role, she finally picks up the threads of her passion which throb in the entire fiber of her being.

Her journey as a serious Artist began in 2016 with the esteemed Sapumal Foundation in Colombo under the tutelage of Sculptor and Artist Sarath Chandrajeewa. She had her first exhibition in 2020 and there has been no looking back ever since. While continuing to exhibit in Colombo, she had her latest Solo Show in December 2022 in Lalit Kala Akademi, New Delhi.

Her works are available for your curation through Galleries and Lifestyle Home Stores in Sri Lanka and through the international online Gallery platform. She is an Indian currently residing in Sri Lanka.
