Deneth Piumakshi: Underneath My Second Skin
I have been educated not to follow trends or rules in life and in artistic practices. Therefore first school of arts was at home. Later on studied fine arts in Kathmandu Art University in Nepal and Academy of Design in Colombo in Sri Lanka.
My works has evolved over the past 20 years. The subjects I chose to work are more focusing on social issues such as immigration, identity, refugee crises, women and children in conflict zones in political aspects. My artistic practice runs along a thin line which separates art and activism, it is my intend to play with the tension. For exemple, the new performance work is entitled "Your faith is in your hand". Poetry, pain and real life stories of those who faced long term violence, discrimination and manipulation have inspired me. (Artist Statement)
