About the artist

A Sri Lankan soul,
painting for the world

Farook was born in the heart of Sri Lanka and now calls the United States home. His art lives in the space between those two worlds — where the colours of a Sri Lankan morning meet the energy of a life lived across continents.

"I do not paint what I see. I paint what I feel when I see it."

His subjects are ordinary people doing extraordinary things: a woman tending her betel pan, a fisherman proud at his stall, a girl lost deep in thought. Through Farook's brush, these moments stop being local — they become human. That is why collectors from New York to London find something familiar in his canvases — even if they have never set foot in Sri Lanka.
