Join us for an inspiring virtual interview and discussion with the renowned multidisciplinary artist and creative entrepreneur, Imal Silva.
Imal Silva, a graduate of the Royal College of Art in the United Kingdom, is celebrated for his contemporary and abstract works that explore themes of sustainability, human development, and philosophical reflections on life, meaning, and purpose. With a career spanning decades, his unique artistic expressions—rooted in pour and drip techniques as well as acrylic impasto—offer an evocative blend of color, form, and emotion.
Born in Sri Lanka and shaped by his multicultural experiences in Nigeria, Imal’s art reflects the complex realities of migration and global interconnectedness. His thought-provoking work is deeply influenced by his life journey, his commitment to fostering creativity, and his vision of using art as a tool for social change.
In this exclusive event, Imal will share his artistic journey, explore the significance of abstract art in contemporary society, and discuss how art can address critical issues such as sustainability and human behavior. Gain insights into his creative process, his contributions as a lecturer, speaker, and mentor, and his ongoing efforts to empower communities and inspire a new generation of artists.
Whether you’re an artist, an art enthusiast, or someone passionate about the intersections of creativity, culture, and social development, this discussion promises to be a rich exploration of the transformative power of art.
