My Favorite Colors ❤️🤍🖤


Colors are not just visual elements; they are reflections of our personalities and our passions. For me, my favorite colors tell a story about who I am and the art I practice.

Elegance and Peace: Black, Blue, and White

The colors Black, Blue, and White are part of my daily inspirations.

1. Black: Elegance and Power

While many associate black with darkness, I see it as a symbol of sophistication and strength. There is a certain boldness in black that demands respect. It is timeless, versatile, and adds a touch of mystery to everything. To me, black represents the quiet confidence we all strive to have.

2. Blue: Serenity and Depth

Blue reminds me of the vastness of the ocean and the infinite sky. It is the color of peace and stability. Whenever I feel overwhelmed, looking at shades of blue brings a sense of calm to my mind. It represents trust, wisdom, and the freedom to dream big.

3. White: Purity and Simplicity

White is the canvas of all possibilities. It represents clarity, light, and minimalism. There is a unique beauty in simplicity, and white captures that perfectly. It brings a sense of balance and freshness, making everything feel organized and peaceful.


Red and White


My deepest connection is with Red and White. As a practitioner of traditional arts, these colors hold a sacred place in my heart.


When I wear the Ves attire or the Drumming costume (Bera Anduma), it is the blend of red and white that defines the majesty of the performance. The white symbolizes purity and focus, while the vibrant red represents the raw energy and vitality of the rhythm. These are not just colors; they are the heartbeat of our heritage.

My Teacher and My Favorite Artist in the Field of Dance 🙏💓

My drumming instructor is Prasanna Rupathilaka , an accomplished traditional dancer and musician. He is the second child of Guru Daniel, a highly skilled dancer and ritual practitioner (Aduru) from Pannipitiya. A master of both Up-Country (Kandyan) and Low-Country dance traditions, my teacher inherited his foundational skills through his family lineage. Furthermore, he honed his expertise in Kandyan dance and drumming under the guidance of Dr. Piyasara Shilpadhipathi. He also mastered Low-Country drumming and Madu Shanthikarma (healing rituals) under the tutelage of Guru Hokandara Sandoris Jayantha, a distinguished percussionist from the Raigam Korale. Representing prestigious troupes such as the Sama Foundation and the State Dance Ensemble, Guru Prasanna Rupathilaka has had the honor of bringing glory to Sri Lanka across numerous countries worldwide. Currently, he serves as a Lecturer at the University of Sri Jayewardenepura and as the Director of the Prasanna Roo Rangayathanaya, wher...

The Maestro Who Sparked My Passion for the Arts 🙏

Image
If I say that the artist who first ignited my passion for this field was also the very first artist I ever met, I wouldn’t be wrong at all. That person is none other than Tabla Vadya Visharada Kolitha Perera. I first met "Kolitha Aiya" (brother) during the days I used to visit Sandhya Miss’s home. To this day, he remains the most humble and immensely talented artist I have ever encountered. Kolitha Aiya is a proud student of Master Prasanna Rupathilaka. Throughout my artistic journey, he has always been the senior artist holding my hand and guiding me forward. Although he is a master (Visharada) of the Tabla, he has also profoundly mastered our traditional Sri Lankan instruments, rendering an invaluable service to the world of percussion. The Master of Sabaragamuwa Davul https://youtube.com/shorts/VuSnj_ZZkBU?si=Vp626PqvC3Qf4CFJ In the arts community, Kolitha Aiya is most renowned for his exceptional Davul playing—specifically the traditional Sabaragamuwa Davul. As a highly s...

An Unforgettable Journey: My Best School Trip Ever 💗!

Image
This was a trip that I will cherish for the rest of my life. It happened back when we were doing our Advanced Levels, organized by the Arts Section of Thurstan College. To look after us and guide us with love, our Head of the Arts Department, our class teachers, and another teacher joined the trip. We visited several amazing places during this journey. Our very first stop was the historic Sabaragamuwa Maha Saman Devalaya. After seeking blessings there, we didn’t forget to visit the famous Ahalepola Walawwa as well. One of the most important and inspiring highlights of our trip was getting the chance to visit the Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka. Seeing it in person only made my dream of entering a university even stronger! Afterwards, we headed to our night stop at the Highlanders Holiday Complex, which is managed by the Sri Lanka Army. That night was filled with pure joy—we sang songs, laughed, and had the best time before finally going to sleep. The next morning, we set off towar...
