These images hardly do justice to the gorgeousness that these paintings  are. Interestingly enough these paintings from Srilankan artist Dumith Kulasekara's latest series is  titled Trauma. The artist explains , "My work describes the anxiety caused by losing the value of culture, of human relationships, friendship, brotherhoods, and spirituality. " Also, it's pretty hard to miss all the visual allusions to gender/sexuality. More from Mieke's  incredible blog.
