Art Appreciation
Art appreciation of beauty, nature and
life
Through artistic impressions, we experience the
joy of visual beauty, which may endure all time and ages. Like many of the world's greatest art works, still
admired to this day. Beauty and the appreciation of it, speaks to our higher conscience through the language of art
and music. The heart and soul can be stirred within, when we listen to a beautiful melody or contemplate a piece of
art, which impresses our human mind.
When developing a design, I take in a subject
matter with appreciation of its own value and inspirational appeal. The world around us offers a continuous bounty
of subject matters to glorify in art. I have come to admire the deep seated love of nature and of life, that is so
intimately connected with Sinhalese art
tradition.

A single flower, leaf or feather can become
revered in a skillful pattern or motif, and create a lasting impression. The symbolic meanings behind many of Lotus
Sunrise designs elucidate a subject matter's intrinsic beauty and idealism. In this way, everyday worldly things
are uplifted through artistic expressions and genuine interests in their details.
A simple motif can stand for much more than just
the object that it is. It can offer a deep and meaningful impression, such as legends or myths that a subject
matter may be associated with. Through this we can acquire a profound mindfulness, when appreciating an artistic
representation of a subject matter.
For example, a design of a sun motif may offer the
spirit of light and warmth, new life and the ripening of the earth's fruits. The sun is also said to embody male
energy, and so the sun is inevitably the ultimate power symbolized in kings, worldwide.
Even when we pause to look at ancient art, we can
usually find so much symbolism and a reverence for the subject matter the artist and his/her culture held in the
object or idea, surviving to this very day.
