Buddhika Talpe Merenchige 4 artworks | 2 Sold Follow Contact Buddhika I was born in Sri Lanka and migrated to Australia many years ago, with a passion for painting from a very tender age. Always backed up by my mother, since my first art on a sheet of Asbestos, growing up among coconut trees and beaches added to my imagination. My art is inspired by the vibrant colours of tropical flora and fauna, Australian Autumn, cultural traditions and Buddhist philosophy.
