Hi, I'm Crissy Fernando!

Crissy Fernando is a Sri Lanka-based visual artist with over a decade of self-taught practice, currently expanding her creative journey through formal studies in the Foundation of Fine Arts course. Her work is deeply rooted in the natural world, shaped by an upbringing in a lush, green environment. Crissy primarily works with natural pigments, earth-based materials, and botanical dyes, all carefully sourced and prepared by hand. These organic elements are central to her creative process, enabling her to explore themes of human connection, memory, and our evolving relationship with the environment. This portfolio offers a glimpse into her explorations with these materials, capturing both the raw essence of nature and the layered emotions they evoke.
