Favourite Painting Medium? Water colour If you were invisible where would you go? Tamileelam’s isolated and banned Vanni camps Short Hair or Long Hair? Love long hair, but my hair is too heavy and too curly so I have to make it short. Early Riser or Night Hawk? It all depends when I paint. Early riser if I have to paint, and night hawk if I am kept up painting. Some days I sleep at 4 am painting. So everything depends on my painting. My work is my life. |
