Varsha, originally from Sri Lanka, spent 20 years working as a marketing professional, with her last role being in Hong Kong for a multinational company. She holds a Bachelor of Science degree, pursued Management Accountancy through CIMA, completed a Marketing Management program at Harvard Business School, and became a Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming.
Throughout her life, Varsha had a talent for painting and drawing, which she continued as a hobby. However, a family emergency prompted her to resign from her corporate job and return to Sri Lanka. To relieve stress, she began painting and discovered the therapeutic world of mandala art. She incorporated elements of mandalas into her vibrant acrylic paintings, using colors to express emotions, thoughts, and connections.
Her art is known as ‘Varna by Varsha,’ where “Varna” means color in Sinhala. She combines mandala art with precision drawings and fine lines to tell stories inspired by the intricacies and complexities of the human mind. Varsha sees herself as a visual storyteller, sharing her experiences on canvas.
