Ama Liyanage
Figure III - Figurative Abstract Watercolor Nude Portrait Painting on Paper

2025

About the Item

Ama Liyanage, a contemporary artist and printmaker, creates whimsical paintings from her home studio in Ontario, Canada. Each piece holds minuscule painted details waiting to be discovered, narrating stories or invoking a touch of humor for perceptive observers. This enchanting watercolor artwork on paper measures 12 inches high by 9 inches wide. The delicate brushstrokes and ethereal hues evoke a sense of romance and whimsy. This artwork is not framed. The artist signed it on the front and the back, and it comes with a certificate of authenticity from the art gallery. Convenient delivery is available for those in the local Los Angeles area, and affordable worldwide shipping is available for US and international art collectors. Through her artwork, Liyanage proudly amplifies the voices of women of color, reclaiming spaces historically devoid of their representation. Drawing from her experiences as a Sri Lankan navigating colonial spaces in Canada, her art challenges one-dimensional portrayals of women of color often centered around labor. Inspired by French and Dutch Impressionist art, particularly representations of white men and women, her work adds a thought-provoking layer to her creative journey. Liyanage has exhibited her work in several exhibitions and art fairs including the Toronto Artist Project and won the first prize award at the Homer Watson House & Gallery Juried Show. Her art reflects her experiences as a Sri Lankan in Canada, adding depth and nuance to her pieces.
