Contact Artist

Dumiduni Illangasinghe is a Sri Lankan visual artist working across painting, installation, and research- based material practices. Her work explores fragility, transformation, healing, and interconnectedness through ecological thinking and material experimentation. Drawing inspiration from mycelial networks, feminist ecologies, and South Asian cultural traditions, her practice investigates how systems of care, resilience, and regeneration emerge within conditions of rupture and impermanence.

Inspired by mycelial networks, Illangasinghe uses organic forms and installations to explore connections between human and more-than-human worlds, emphasizing interdependence, care, and transformation.

She received her BFA in Painting from the University of Visual and Performing Arts, Colombo, Sri Lanka, in 2023, and earned her MFA in Painting from Banaras Hindu University, India, in 2026.

Her works have been exhibited at India Art Fair – Artists in Residence, New Delhi (2026); KHOJ Studios, New Delhi (2025); Saskia Fernando Gallery, Colombo (2026, 2024); the International Exhibition of Painting, Nepal Academy of Fine Arts, Kathmandu (2024); and the Colomboscope Interdisciplinary Arts Festival, Colombo (2024). Between 2024 and 2026, she participated in several exhibitions in Varanasi, India. In 2023, she participated in the Degree Show and In Between: Matter and Materiality exhibitions at the JDA Perera Gallery, Colombo.
