Chaya De Silva
Born in Sri Lanka and now based in Surrey, UK, “Chaya De Silva” is an acclaimed contemporary artist whose vibrant, heavily textured artworks have earned international recognition among collectors and premium brands alike. Known for her unique approach to mixed media, Chaya builds striking, layered compositions that sit at the intersection of fine art and sculptural design.
Her dynamic studio practice has led to major exhibitions across the UK and on the global stage, including showcasing at the prestigious “art3f International Contemporary Art Fair in Monaco”. This unique ability to cross boundaries has also caught the attention of major global corporations, resulting in high-profile creative partnerships and campaigns with household names such as “Sony Pictures UK, Xbox UK, Canon UK, Starbucks, and Audible”
Her practice is deeply rooted in capturing the raw power and essence within her subjects. Tonight, for this exclusive live painting performance with “Kaizen Gallery”, Chaya turns her focus to one of cinema's greatest icons: Jack Nicholson. Utilizing her distinctive palette knife techniques, heavy-texture impasto, and rapid, intuitive structural marks, she will translate Nicholson’s untamed charisma into a living, breathing work of highly textured, dimensional art.
