Jayantha Thissera is known to me for a considerable time and is gifted with many inborn talents. On his debut solo art exhibition I consider it is a privilege to have the opportunity to write few words about this versatile character. Born to a distinguished Sinhala Buddhist Family, he hails from Boralasgamuwa which is
a suburb located to the south of the city Colombo.
He had his education at sunethra Devi Vidyalaya, Papiliyana where his main interest was Art and Drawing in addition to his other talent in swimming and in the electronic field. After completing his education at the school he selected the electronic field as his employment. However his hidden talent in Arts and Drawings surfaced three years ago when he decided to have a Solo Art Exhibition. During the last three years he has put his heart and soul to this endeavor where his talents as an Artist and a sculptor will be on view.
Proving the adage that behind the every successful man there is a woman, his wife Senali
has been the driving force behind his success and this message would be complete if this
is not mentioned.
Finally I would like to mention that it would be a fitting tribute here to record that
standard and the Artistic quality of Jayatha's talents will be proven beyond and doubt for all those who are intrested in the fine Arts. Towards this end I recommended that every body interested in Art should not miss this rare opportunity of viewing this unique exhibition which is the work of on highly talented man.
