A Sri Lankan soul,
painting for the world

Farook grew up watching people. A woman arranging her betel pan on a warm afternoon. A fisherman arranging his catch with tired, proud hands. A girl lost somewhere deep inside her own thoughts. These were not grand scenes — they were ordinary moments. But to Farook, ordinary moments are where the whole truth of being human lives.

35 Years of Watching, Feeling, Painting

Farook did not study art to become a painter. He became a painter because he could not stop seeing the world as something worth capturing. Over 35 years of painting, Farook developed a style entirely his own — bold geometric lines that echo the cubist tradition, saturated colours rooted in the warmth of South Asian light, and a deep empathy for his subjects that no technique alone can teach.

A Style Born from Two Continents

When he moved to the United States, something unexpected happened: the distance made him see Sri Lanka more clearly. Every painting since has been an act of remembering — and an act of sharing. His work carries the geometry of cubism, the warmth of Sri Lankan colour, and the emotional clarity that comes from living between cultures. His subjects are always people — real, working, feeling, dreaming people. The technique serves the story, never the other way around.

From Sri Lanka to International Collections

Collectors from New York to London to Sydney tell Farook the same thing: they have never been to Sri Lanka, but they recognise something in his paintings. They recognise their grandmother. Their neighbourhood. The weight of a long day and the small dignity of doing it anyway. That is what Farook paints — not Sri Lanka specifically, but the human experience that Sri Lanka gave him the eyes to see.

His originals are held in private collections across Asia, the Middle East, Europe, and North America. He has exhibited in Sri Lanka and internationally — and his work continues to find new homes with collectors who want something genuine on their walls. Each painting is an original — no prints, no reproductions. When you own a Farook, you own the only one in existence.

Whether you are discovering Farook's work for the first time or returning to add to your collection — welcome. Every painting here is an original. Every subject was once a real person, seen with care and painted with love. We hope you find something that stops you.
